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. 
You've seen and heard the fuss over Kim Diehl's new Simple Whatnots Club, and are watching as we debut samples of each quilt at the shop. Suzanne will be teaching you one of those patterns. Hopscotch has two versions - Appliqué and Patchwork, and you can choose either to make for the class. The class fee includes both the pattern and the kit. All you'll need is batting and backing!
