'Patchwork Panache' Contemporary Quilting Classes using Recycled Textiles to start in March!!



March 3rd-24th (Every Thursday) Contemporary Quilting using recycled textiles, repurposed clothing and up-cycled fabrics.
We will learn non-traditional quilting techniques using recycled clothing and non-traditional fabrics. There will be information about various textiles such as how they are manufactured and how they behave in a finished quilt. Bring clothing to break down and prepare for quilting and specialty textiles you have always wanted to use, but didn't know how. You will also learn the 'modified log cabin' block design using only templates and rulers, no pinning or measuring necessary.

Class is from 5:30pm-8pm
Fee is $30

It is suggested that you bring your own sewing machine, but not required. If you do bring your own machine, please also bring your foot pedal, power cord, and the manual. Please bring your own clothing or textiles that you would like to use in your own designs so that we may discuss them in class. There will also be samples and a variety of other textiles for use as well. Also, we suggest you bring your own cutting tools (scissors, rotary cutters, etc) and standard sewing supplies, but it is not required as we will have some for use during the class.
