Tuffets can add a touch of whimsy to your home that blend with all decors and bridge the gap between design and function. In addition to being heirloom home accents, they make treasured gifts for special occasions including weddings, new babies, anniversaries and special birthdays. Join us and learn to sew a gorgeous tuffet cover during the first class session and turn that cover into an upholstered footstool during the second session. In addition to the fabric required for the tuffet (see supply list), you will also need the Tuffet Source 18 inch Pieced Tuffet Pattern ($25.00) and the Tuffet Finishing Kit ($145.00). The pattern and Finishing Kit includes everything you need to turn your fabric into a completed tuffet. These are available through Lyons Quilting and should be ordered in advance so they are available in plenty of time before the class.

This class will be in our new classroom upstairs! Scandinavian Snowflake is a fun placemat pattern that includes enough papers to make four 20 inch placemats or table toppers. It is a good introduction pattern to the basics of paper piecing and the applique method used Quiltworx.

Ok, you have learned how to do free motion quilting, walking foot quilting and you have even tried out free motion rulerwork. But how do I actually quilt my quilt??? Come learn a step by step, repeatable approach to figure out what you are going to do. You will need to have a finished, basted quilt top for this class. The supply list has some suggestions. In class, you will complete a detailed plan and have studio time to work on the actual quilting. Mary will help you learn new designs for some specific quilt blocks and shapes. You need to have some experience with free motion quilting prior to this class, including how to set up your machine
