Fancy Stitchin' by Smith Street Designs with Pam & Kathi
Try the look of crazy quilting done on the embroidery machine.  The 5” blocks are  appliqué embroidery and the stitching looks like perfectly executed hand embroidery stitches.  Make a few blocks for a wall hanging etc. or keep making blocks for a quilt on it’s own or to be added into a quilt pattern.  Either way the blocks are beautiful and do not take a lot of time.  This is a technique class for those of you that are comfortable with your embroidery machine.

Madeira Windows Doll Dress, Half Slip & Bib with June Cook
In three class sessions we will be making the half slip, doll dress and bib that together make up this Madeira Windows Doll Dress.  Using a basic to-the-waist dress for your 18” doll, we will construct a dress featuring a bracket-shaped hem edge with an organza border.  The organza windows are created using a reverse Madeira appliqué technique with a pretty embroidered bow at the center of each window.  The full-bodice organza bib is accented with machine embroidery and bordered with entredeux and a lace-edged organza ruffle.  Satin ribbon ties hold the bib at the sides.  A matching half-slip completes this darling outfit.
