102-Medora Mystery with Kathy Johnson

To some quilters a mystery can be an antique quilt in an unknown block or pattern. Or, perhaps a mystery might be a quilt about which the family history is unknown. But to many quilters a mystery quilt is the fun way to make a quilt and keep the final look a "mystery" until the last steps of assembly. This year Kathy's ever popular Friday Night Mystery is, well that to is a mystery.....you won't know what the quilt is going to look like until the end!

103-Triangle Star with Norma Lee Miller

In this class we will be cutting 60º shapes using the Clearview 60º Triangle Ruler. When you learn to cut using this tool cutting triangles, trapezoids and diamonds becomes very simplified. The center star is constructed using a Log Cabin piecing technique. The pieced border is constructed using a Seminole piecing technique. This may all sound and look complicated but it is actually all very simple cutting and piecing techniques. I predict that you will be happily surprised as you construct this design because the total construction is "quick and easy" piecing.

There will be a class handout at a charge of $8.00

Skill Level- Confident Beginner to Advanced.

106-Woven Bali Basket with Faye Grandalen

Cancelled

Here is a class with no sewing machine needed. Learn to make trivets and baskets with piping, bali pops or jelly rolls. Batiks work best as cotton can be to thick and is not recommended. This would be a nice way to get rid of some of you left over batik strips from other projects. I will bring pops, rolls and darning needles. I will also bring 1/2" piping for the class to purchase, that way you will not have to run all over looking for it. You will need 1/2 inch piping. The trivet takes 3 yards and the basket takes 11 yards. You will need to bring sewing needle, scissor and thread. If you decide to do the basket you will need to contact me for a pattern and a package of 11 yards of piping. The pattern is "Hand Woven Bali Basket" by Common Thread Designs. This is a no sew project. There is a $9.50 pattern fee.

Basic Supplies Needed:

A Bali Pop or 40-2 1/2" strips
11 yards of large cord
Large darning needle
