Sew-in

Come for a morning of socializing and sewing.  In the midst of this heatwave, it is hard to think about fall and our October boutique.  But October will be here before you know it.  Spend the morning working on projects for the boutique.  Ironing stations will be provided.  Bring your projects and enjoy working on them in the company of friends.  Please let Cheryl Cederquist, Dru Volk or Debbie Brown know if you plan on bringing a sewing machine. Rumor has it there will be cake and ice cream sundaes too.

Workshop

Kim Brownell
“Quilted Jigsaw Puzzle Technique”

With this technique students can combine two hobbies, because it is very much like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. A raw edge fusible applique is used leaving negative space between each piece. The background fabric can be any color, but if black is used the piece will have a wonderful stained-glass look.  This is a fun class for both beginner and experienced quilters. You may choose either Sunrise/Sunset or Mountain Majesty.
