This class is for the person who wants to learn quilting basics. You’ll meet weekly to learn/practice a new skill and block. Along the way, you’ll learn rotary cutting, stitching accurate quarter-inch seams, and pressing for accuracy and success. Basic color theory will also be discussed. Each week’s lesson will build on skills from previous weeks. This is a 9-week “bring your own machine and tools” class. 
This is one of our favorite Halloween quilts. The quilt is three-dimensional – you can see in our one-block sample that the witch’s legs dangle from the front
of her broomstick. If you have never done a Buggy Barn pattern, this is your chance. Book required: Frightfully Crazy.
This is the sample hanging in the shop that everyone’s been asking about. Kay is teaching this very traditional looking quilt – appliqué center, with Drunkard’s Path blocks surrounding it. Hand and machine appliqué
knowledge will be reviewed. Notion required: Elisha’s Backporch 3½” Small Path template.
This is a paper- and foundation-pieced quilt, with designs based on marble floor tiles in Rome. It is beautiful in batiks, but can also be made in more
traditional fabrics. Book required: Bella Bella Sampler Quilts. 
So you didn’t take the Fall 2010 Mystery Quilt class? Didn’t win the 2013 VQF raffle quilt? That’s okay, because you can take this class and make a Vermont Galaxy quilt of your own. Pattern required:
Vermont Galaxy. 
This project is wool appliqué on a cotton pieced background. A great project to grace your winter table. Pattern required: Primitive Gatherings.
The Shoo Fly block is a favorite of many quilters because of its historical significance, and also because it can be mastered by a beginner. With a flip of the triangle units, you can also make another
classic block, the Friendship Star. Your class fee includes a kit in blues & white, batiks, or reproduction fabrics, which will make a small throw-sized quilt.
This fun bag uses precut strips. It’s a great way to use up those jelly rolls or Bali Pops you’ve accumulated! Pattern required: Bailey Island Hobo Bag.
If you love embroidery, and are looking to try some new stitches, or learn how to add beads to your project, this is the class for you. This small wall hanging can be stitched up quickly for the holidays
– for yourself, or for a gift! Pattern required: Crazy Quilt Snowman.It’s time for our annual get-together! Make a Difference Day 2013 is scheduled nationally for Saturday, October 26, but because of Cindy’s involvement in her kids’ soccer schedule, she has chosen Saturday, November 16 for Yankee Pride’s charitable work day. We’ll get together in the basement classroom, and piece tops, or finish quilts – whatever you’d like to do. Come for an hour, or spend the day with us! Once again, we’re donating quilts to Laurie’s House in St. Albans. If you have questions, call or see Cindy at the shop.
