NEEDLE-TURN appliqué done by hand, and MACHINE APPLIQUÉ, which starts by fusing the fabrics to each other, will both be covered in the same class sessions.  

In this class, learn how to make fabric choices that will make your work POP!

By popular demand, we've added a THURSDAY AFTERNOON section for CIVIL WAR JOURNALS (see description below).  This class will meet 2nd Thursdays, at 1:30 p.m., starting February 9th.

The QUILT CLASS for the WING and a PRAYER quilt, will start next Thursday, February 9th.

It will be a 7 month class, meeting 2nd Thursdays at 7 p.m., February through August.  

Cost of this lecture/demo class is just $24.  Come pick up some tips!  Get focused!

Stop in to see the fabrics and my sample blocks before the class starts.

Stop in and take a look at the Wing and a Prayer pattern & the fabrics from Timeless Treasures.  Each class participant must purchase their own pattern, but you may take the class without purchasing the fabrics.  This would be interesting done in other colors.  Think BATIKS!

STILL  TIME TO ORDER KITS or join class:

This year's Civil War Journals Block-a-Month focuses on the CHILDREN of the 1860s caught up in our nation's Civil War.

A year-long program, the fabrics are all 19th century reproductions, and very authentic!  The patterns include an interesting story each month, block patterns & directions for making one small child-size quilt a quarter, or combining your entire year's production into one large quilt, as pictured further below.  

Click on these smaller quilts to see larger images, clearly showing the fabrics in detail.

The fabrics for the FIRST QUARTER are available now.
