New Classes! 

Pieced Jacket (2.0)

Did you miss our first offering and still want a cozy jacket that no one else has? Join this class to make one.  The Tremont Jacket from The Sewing Workshop is easy to sew.  The pattern and a variety of fabrics are available at Quilt Shop Co-op.

The class is two sessions; you should plan to attend both classes on Nov 3 and 10.

The class fee is $60.  Pattern ($22.95) and fabric (3.33 yards) are purchased separately.

Basic clothing construction experience is recommended. 


 Machine Quilting Class with Twila Richter - Nov 4th

Learn one of the last steps in finishing your quilting project: free motion quilting. The sky is the limit in the texture and visual interest you can create. The instructor will supply each participant with a quilt “sandwich” on which to practice.

You will learn:

  • To prepare your quilt top (sandwich method)
  • Use of different tools/methods to stabilize your quilt layer
  • Choice of thread/needles/ use of machine foot

Below is Twila with one of her award winning quilts.  The class is one session on Nov. 4 and we suggest bringing a bag lunch.


Machine Binding Class - Nov 13th

Learn, refresh or refine your machine binding skills. Learn and document each of the steps so that you never forget. Twila will be supplying a fabric kit for each participant to take you through the 11 steps. At the end of the class you will have a “story board” to bring home as a reference in finishing your quilts in the future.  The photo shows what your "story board" will look like and Twila is featured with her "Binding Story Board"

This is a 2 hour class, with two options for a time slot on Nov 13.
