Sept. 8, Sew Together Bag, Brenda Call

At last fall’s class planning discussion, there was a request for a instructions to make a tool bag for classes and charity sew. This is that class! Brenda Call will teach us how to make this great little bag for holding your sewing notions – a great grab ‘n go bag when heading out for charity sew, classes or retreats. It's also great for organizing handbags, makeup, school supplies, and so much more! The finished bag features three zippered pockets, four open pockets, a
pincushion, and a needle landing all held together by a zipper that forms two handles.

Oct. 13, Set in Circles, Phil Gold

This class will teach the set-in circle technique that was demonstrated at the January 20th GSQ meeting. The emphasis will be on learning and practicing the basic process so that each student will be confident using it wherever a circle or curved seam is needed. This technique is based on Dale Fleming’s “6-minute circle” (her Pieced Curves So Simple book) with a few of Phil’s “engineered” modifications and provides a precise (and distortion-free) method for placing a circle of fabric into a background fabric. Besides single circles and curves, this technique can be used to create a number of amazing “special effects”, including concentric circles, hearts, intersecting circles, and “pieced” circles (circles in pieced blocks) which will also be demonstrated.

May 19, Sawsall, Joanne Shropshire, Paperpiecing

In this class, Joanne Shropshire will show us how to make a fun, bright, modern looking quilt with paper piecing. Joanne will provide enough pre-printed paper for each student to make 3 blocks – enough for a table runner. You can add more blocks to get your preferred size.
There is pre-work (cutting) for this class and the pattern must be purchased and
downloaded prior to class. Pattern is available for $10 at https://fatquartergypsyshop.com/sawsall-quiltpattern-pdf-printable/

June 9, Patti Wolfe, Collage Quilt

Bring your flowers and join Patti to create this collage quilt.

July 14, Christmas Wall Quilt, Joanne Quicksell

Joanne Quicksell will help us turn 2 ½” squares into a 15” x 42” Christmas Tree Wall Hanging. This is a quilt as you go pattern and is a great project to use scraps of fabric and batting.
