The Village Quilters, Inc.

Learn hand appliqué while making Buttermilk Basin Wool Vintage Truck in your choice of size.  Terri has some new tips for experienced stitchers.

Does the thought of making an entire bargello quilt seem scary? Too time-consuming? Impossible? Learn this easy bargello method with Jordan Fabrics' tablerunner pattern and you'll soon be ready for that big quilt!

This class is from the Fold & Finish Cotton Theory Collection, designed by Betty Cotton.  It is a reversible quilt that will be pieced and quilted with a new dimension when you are done.  The pattern you will be learning to make is called Attic Windows.  The pattern gives yardage for 2 sizes, 70" x 82" or 90" x 106".  It can also be made into a pillow, smaller wall hanging, or lap size quilt.  It is a fun and interesting technique.

The pattern fee is $10 when you sign up. Linda will be ordering the pattern and needs to know how many to order by the February meeting.

Learn how to make a Faux Flange (two-color) binding that you can attach to your quilt all by machine (no hand stitching required). This flange will add a 1/8-inch “zing” to frame your quilt. It is sewn onto the back of the quilt and then folded onto the front of your quilt and sewn by machine.

This is a beginner class to learn about using rulers to quilt on your home machine.  Quilting with rulers allows you to make straight lines without a walking foot, less turning of your quilt, and gives you another set of options for your quilting.  We will work on a sample piece and you can bring blocks or scraps that you would like to practice on.  If you already own some quilting rulers, please bring them to play with.  This is a technique class not a project class so be prepared to explore a new experience.

A straight quilting ruler is required for class.  The cost of the ruler, Creative Grids 'Slim', for class is $19.  If you wish, you can bring a straight ruler with you.  I recommend smaller rulers because they are easier to handle.  You will also need a ruler foot for your machine – this will not be available for purchase in class.  There are resources listed in your supply list.  I will bring my own rulers so that you can sample different types of rulers.  So come and have fun learning about quilting rulers.
