Jacket Classes with Marian Smith
|
Marian's Jacket Class!
The Northerners are back at Country Quilts and Bears and they are looking for Marian's popular Sweatshirt Class!
Here it is. If you've made one, come on back and make another. If you've never made one, come in and have fun making a jacket that you will wear out the door at the end of the second session.
If you are interested, you will need one UNWASHED sweatshirt with set-in sleeves that is one size bigger than you normally would wear (Wal-Mart currently has a large supply of these sweatshirts, so get one before they are gone!). These sweatshirts are a bit difficult to find, so be on the lookout for yours before class!
There are several jackets to choose from so come into the shop and choose yours today. She's even added a few new jackets to her repertoire so stop by to see them. We will then give you the supply list for the one you want to make.
The new additions to Marian's collection include her Origami Jacket (Hoffman Challenge Finalist!) that is made from only 6 fat quarters (plus more for the binding). She also has a new jacket called Windows. It's a beauty!
For $30 you can come in on ANY two WEDNESDAYS, from 10:00 to 2:00, until the spring. It takes two sessions to make your jacket. Sessions begin Wednesday, February 1st.

Paper Dolls with Susan Freebery
|
The Paper Dolls
Love that name!
We are calling all you quilters who like to paper piece!
Susan's method for paper piecing is simple, logical and it WORKS! Continuing on from her very popular Beginning Paper Piecing Class, we are starting a club to explore this technique further. Each month we will work on a different skill, or project, building on what we have already learned. Very soon we will be working on some pretty ambitious patterns! Start looking through all those patterns you have passed by because you thought you couldn't do it...you should pick them up again and hear us tell you that, "YES you CAN!"
Again, this is a club with a minimal fee - $5 each class to cover the cost of club materials, handouts, etc.
A Note about Paper Dolls: The intention for this club is that it take the form of a stitch-along rather than a classic class. Susan will help us get started each session, but then we will be stitching along together and helping each other.
The Paper Dolls will be meeting the 3rd Saturday of each month.
Saturday, February 18th
Saturday, March 18th (Flying Geese Swap Party!)
Saturday, April 15th
10-2:00
$5.00
