Bubbles
Level 2, Eunice
Bubbles is a great way to use the skills you learned in the Machine Appliqué class. The body of the quilt is just simple squares which can be partially made ahead of the class. Then bubble circles are appliquéd onto them. Eunice used stabilized Indian silks for her circles but other fun fabrics can work, too. You don’t have to make circles. Bunnies or ducks or anything you can think of will be fine. This is an opportunity for you to fine tune those machine appliqué skills with Eunice. $25
   •  Tuesday, 10 AM-1 PM: May 18

This is a lesson in how to help the background fabric make your ‘choice’ fabrics look great. $10 or Free with a UIU Pass.

   •  Monday, 1-4 PM: June 7

Radiant Lone Star
Level 3, Sandy
The Lone Star is such a lovely quilt, but it takes careful, exact sewing to make sure all 8 arms will fit together when the time comes. It’s easy to inherit one of these just partially made. Because it was so much work, when it came time to turn the arms into a star, they wouldn’t fit together. The “radiant” part is a reflective ring just before you get to the “spokes” which causes the repeat of colors to be reversed. It’s a beauty and we’ll make a wallhanging out of ours. If you want a bed quilt, we’ll alter the yardage for you. Come in to pick out your fabrics while Sandy is here, so she can be sure you understand the look you are going after. $35
