YANKEE PRIDE CLASS SCHEDULE
SPRING 2015
General Information
Yankee Pride is now offering the Spring 2015 schedule of classes for Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced students. In addition to offering expert and experienced teachers, we are also pleased to offer each student a 20% discount on all class materials.
Our current offerings are:
Cancellation Policy
Any class will be cancelled if there is not the minimum number of students five days before the class is scheduled to begin. Refunds will be given to all students at that time. No refunds can be given thereafter.
Project Yardage
Yardage for specific classes may be given to students if the class has previously been taught at Yankee Pride. Yardage for new classes will not be available until the first class meeting. Students who purchase their fabric and class supplies before the first class do so at their own risk. Yankee Pride cannot be responsible if the class is cancelled due to low enrollment.
Note: Unless otherwise specified, all classes include all directions needed to complete the projects.
Class Registration
We require a minimum of
six students for each class. We must receive payment for the class upon registration.
Winter Weather Advisory!!!
During the winter months, please call before coming if the weather is bad – we may decide to close the shop early, or open late.
Also, classes may have to be postponed sometimes due to the weather situation. If you have any questions about a class you have signed up for, please feel free to call us. We will try to reach students when a class needs to be postponed, but it is much easier if you call us.
**NOTE: If you want to take a class, but feel you would have a problem getting your machine downstairs to our classroom, please let us know. Our staff can help you get your sewing machine where it needs to go!

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.

with Ruth Julianelle
Do you have a project tucked away because you are unsure of how to finish it? Confused about how to put on those last borders, or how to add backing? This is the workshop for you! Ruth will help you finish your UFO in a 2-class workshop. Bring your long-neglected project, and in the first class, Ruth will discuss borders, sandwiching your quilt, and backing. In the second class, you will get "how-to" instructions for completing your quilt, and she will demonstrate tying your quilt, for those who are interested. In addition, Ruth will show you her shortcut for binding! What a great way to spend a couple of Saturdays during this cold winter.

Join Suzanne to make Cloud Nine, a new project from Kim Diehl's "Simple Whatnots Club 2". This club is designed for quilt shops only, featuring exclusive fabric and designs from Kim's fabric line, "Heritage Hollow". Kim's fabric is designed to achieve a scrappy look, and her small projects are fairly easily made. Suzanne will also use Judy Thomas's Perfect Nine-Patch method to make piecing even easier on this quilt. Class price includes the kit - all you need to finish the project are the batting and backing!

If you've been in the store lately, you've seen the lovely Garden Home project on the window behind the counter. Judy says it makes an excellent hot weather project, as it's made in small sections. This class is for people who have purchased the kit and would like to take advantage of Judy's knowledge for making this project easier.
