12
Days of Christmas Wool Block of the Month
with
Pam and Kathi
Taking the basic patterns and inspiration from Nancy Halvorson’s book 12 Days
of Christmas, we have put our own twist on it and are using wool and cotton to
make this quilt as you go quilt. In this quilt you will be doing wool
appliqué and also some turned cotton appliqué. You can decide whether to
machine or hand stitch your appliqué. The background is simply pieced
with wool and cotton, adding borders. The backing will be added to each block so
that block can be quilted. We will put it all together after the 12 blocks
are stitched and you will have a finished quilt. Monthly class meeting
will be offered, but you can also pick up your block monthly. Sign ups to secure a kit will be taken during January only. There will not be
extra kits.

Time: 5:30 – 7:30pm
Date: Friday, April 9, May 14, June 11

Magnolia
Wool Block of the Month
with
Nancy M. Roelfsema
THERE
ARE STILL A FEW KITS LEFT and you are welcome to join in the classes and/or pick
up the kits.
Magnolia
is a wool appliquéd quilt by Sue Spargo that will surely become a treasured
heirloom to be cherished for many years to come. This is how Sue describes
how she came to design and stitch this quilt.
“My Magnolia Quilt was inspired by home, garden and family and by the setting
in which I experience those three things - the small towns of
Ohio
. There is a town in
Ohio
called Magnolia. It is a wonderful place that I drive through on my way
to my friend Cathy’s home on one of
Ohio
’s lakes. Magnolia has many old homes with lovely porches looking out
onto colorful flower gardens. In designing the quilt I challenged myself to use
many of my collection of textural fabrics and embellishments, as well as
hand-dyed wool and cotton prints.”
Each
month
Nancy
will have the kits ready for you to pick up or you may attend the monthly class
and get your kit then.

Memories
from the Lodge with Amy
This
is a gorgeous “woodsy” appliqué quilt that you will do monthly. The nine
pieced blocks are large with appliqué overlays. With this quilt as you go
project you will have the opportunity to do raw edge or satin stitch appliqué
and some thread painting. As you complete each square, you complete the quilt.
This quilt is for people with some experience quilting. Use this
opportunity to do the whole quilt or one or several individual blocks for wall
hangings.

More
Wild Flowers with Pam and Kathi
Smith
Street
embroidery designs has done it again. Whether you stitched or admired the
embroidery quilt “Wild Flowers” you will love this new embroidered quilt,
“More Wild Flowers”. The embroidered flower blocks are interchangeable
with the first set of wildflowers so they can be used separately or mixed and
mingled. This is a beautiful way to learn appliqué embroidery and get to
know your embroidery machine. We will have fabric kits available upon request.
You will want to do the embroidery class first and then a piecing class to learn
how to put all the embroidered blocks together. Simply beautiful!

Hoop
Sisters TNT Embroidery Block of the Month with Pam
We have combined forces with Hoopsisters to offer their unique Embroidablock of
the Month program. The quilt for 2010 is entitled, “TNT”, Textures and
New Techniques” and is absolutely exquisite. Their technique of
combining embroidery with piecing and quilting is extraordinary. Last
year’s quilt, Crazy Compass was a huge hit, and we are happy to announce our
participation in this year’s program. We will be meeting monthly when
you will be able to receive your design and work on your block for that month or
watch the block demo. We welcome new students
to join in for the next several months.
