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. 
Make this classic quilt. Kay will teach you the ins and outs to making a flat quilt top – the most common problem with this project. Learn to avoid the pitfalls that usually come with making a Lone Star.
This class is an overview of hand appliqué methods. You’ll make a floral wreath that incorporates several simple shapes. Pattern included.
