Peace Cranes Over Hiroshima

Friday September 9th

Lunch Available $15.00

This is my most popular class. I designed and made “Peace Cranes Over Hiroshima” after a visit to the peace park that is at the epicenter of the World War II atomic bombing site in Hiroshima, Japan. This foundation-pieced quilt is based on an Origami folded peace-crane image from the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Experience with foundation piecing (machine paper piecing) is needed for success making this quilt. You’ll learn a lot about color value as value is key to creating this quilt’s three-dimensional look.

Fabulous Freeform

Saturday September 10th

MORNING CLASS

Lunch Available $15.00

This improvisational cutting and piecing technique created by Pam Rocco, formerly a columnist for Quilters Newsletter, is fun and quick. Each student’s quilt will be a unique creation. Pam used stripes and plaids because she wanted a quilt that looked like a rag rug. You can follow her lead or use any fabrics of your choosing. Cutting out this quilt is simple. You’ll freehand rotary cut 1”-3” wide strips with gentle curves without using rulers. Then you’ll stitch the strips together with no pinning. The end result is a high energy quilt that you can hang or drape over a couch or chair. It can also be used as a table or bed runner.

Circling Charley:

Quick & Easy Inset Circle

Saturday September 10th, 2022

AFTERNOON CLASS

Lunch Available $15.00

Learn to inset circles into blocks and circles while making a table or bed runner. You’ll be amazed how easy it is to do. Using a technique developed by Cheryl Phillips that requires minimal pinning — eight pins per circle no matter its size — you’ll make the first block for this quilt in a few hours. Then you’ll perfect the technique so by the end of the class, you’ll likely have made two or more blocks, and you’ll know how to continue making blocks for as large a quilt as you want.
