ABC’s of Quilting…The Next Step

Teacher:  Jo Ann Gruber $40 + Supplies

If you have taken the “ABCs of Quilting” class and have finished your lovely quilt top and wish to machine quilt it, this class may be for you.   You will learn how to layer your quilt top, batting and backing; and you’ll learn how to baste it in preparation for machine quilting.  We will discuss the various basting methods and will explore the fundamentals of straight and in-the-ditch machine quilting. (Note:  All machine quilting will be with the feed-dogs up; we will not cover free-motion quilting techniques during this class.)

Double Irish Chain

Teacher: Margaret Smith $40 + Supplies

The Double Irish Chain is for quilters that have made at least one quilt.  This quilt will brighten a room with your favorite focal fabric. Traditional backgrounds were muslin, but today’s quilters have so many gorgeous fabrics to choose from.  The Outer Chain fabric creates two chains running on the diagonal through the quilt. The Center Chain runs in the middle of the two Outer Chains. These fabrics can be of any value, as long as they contrast with the background.  Jelly Roll sized strips are assembly-line pieced into Block A and B, then joined with all seams locking together, making matching easy to do.
