Tuesday,
March 16, 2010 9am-3pm Flat, even borders are what judges look for in a soundly constructed quilt. A quilt that “waves” while hanging in a show, usually has problems with the borders. As a long arm quilter, I deal with all too many quilts that have wavy borders that need taming or borders that are too small for the quilt top. Bindings are the finishing touch on your quilt. Judges want them to be flat, straight and “full of batting”. This class is designed to help you complete the border on one quilt and get a solid start on the binding on a second quilt.
REMAINS to be SEAMED Location: Hampton Community Center
Saturday,
March 27, 2010 9am-3pm Do you have lots of left over scraps and strips or partially pieced blocks, borders, practice pieces and orphaned blocks from years of quilting? Pack them up and bring them in for a fun day of quilting, using a super fast “remains” method developed by Pat Ferguson. No need to match any seams or points, no color coordinating, anything goes -even those “oldies” and “uglies” that you have been wanting to use up. The more “remains” you bring, the more blocks you can make. Every “remains” block will be unique. We will also explore several possible ways to set your blocks on straight or on point. And how to incorporate “remains” blocks into your border. I encourage fabric trading in class, so clean out your “remains” and bring them all- your “uglies” may be a gorgeous addition to someone else’s quilt! Pat will also have a box of “remains” for you to use.

First, you will learn how to make your own special fusible photo fabric sheets. This process will save you lots of $$$ - all the more to spend on quilting fabric! Pat will then teach you how to choose photos to “converge”, an artful technique of uniting two separate images into a work of art. Or you may choose to artfully arrange multiple photos in a theme, symmetrically or in an unconventional pattern. We will experiment with your photos printed on paper. (No sewing & no pressure to complete a project). We will audition fabrics and talk about embellishments and quilting to enhance your piece. You will leave full of ideas and inspirations to complete your photo wall hangings in many imaginative ways.

Machine Quilting A Monster $45.00 Many of you have taken the typical machine quilting class where you work on small samples. That’s great, but what do you do when you get home and have to face machine quilting a queen size quilt on your own? Pat has machine quilted hundreds of quilts, so she has designed this class especially for those who want hands on instruction on a large quilt of their own. Learn how to fit that monster into your machine and how to maneuver it. Explore options for quilting designs, stencils, threads, needles, tools, where to start and how to proceed. Pat also gives suggestions for setting up an ergonomically safe working area. NOTE: Before signing up for this class you must have your quilt layered for machine quilting (Pat will supply a hand out instruction for this) and have a solid understanding of basic machine quilting.
