Starting July 3...

When you decide to make a quilt, do you have to find a pattern that will be the right size because you do not know how to change?  Learn how to make any quilt in any size.  Get just what you want instead of compromising.  Math for Quilters with Dena Crain will help you to see how easy it is to change the size of a block, figure out how big to make your quilt and what would fit into its design and even calculate how much fabric you need to make your quilt.  Learn more. 

Ease into the versatile world of appliqué with Hand Appliqué Basics.  You will learn several methods for performing the basic tasks that form the backbone of even the most complex appliqué designs.  In this technique class, Nyla Morrison will teach you to be comfortable with your tools and your skills.  You can make this little project, choose one of your own or just do the exercises.  Learn more.  

You know how accurate paper piecing can be.  If you have been nervous about starting on your own, let Daphne Greig teach you her method for this popular technique.  In Paper Pieced Paradise,  you will begin with the simplest units and progress to more complicated blocks.  Learn to piece around a central patch or make several sections and attach them.  See student work in the Gallery.  Learn more. 

Learn how to express yourself in cloth.  Keep a record of outstanding moments in your life, choose a theme, pick a color or explore new techniques in a small format.  Journal Quilts are a perfect way to work because you are not making a major commitment.  Lily Kerns will help you to explore the different kinds of possible journals and then give you a collection of display options. This is a no-risk way to step outside traditional boundaries.  Look at what previous students have made.  Learn more.  

Playing with Paint gives you a chance to get down and dirty.  You can smear paint on fruit, vegetables, plastic mesh, hand-carved stamps, freezer paper stencils, bubble wrap and nearly anything else you can think of.  Why should children have all the fun?  Lyric Kinard will show you how to unleash your inner child and make wonderful designs on your fabric.  Experiment with both wet and dry washes.  Finish up by creating a unique silk scarf.  See examples of student work in the Gallery.  Learn more.
