SEMINOLE AND MORE
Seminole quilting is so called because it replicates the methods used by the Seminole Tribe. Shortly after the advent of the sewing machine, they began replicating their intricate basket patterns with fabric. They cut the fabric into narrow strips, sewed them together and then recut and re-resewed the pieces to create beautiful and intricate patterns. Quilters have borrowed these designs and enlarged them to enjoy a quick and easy method to generate pieced designs in a short amount of time. This class is hands-on. You will learn strip piecing techniques with Seminole patchwork band patterns, you’ll learn a technique for making strips (and blocks) with curved seams, and you’ll learn a trick or two for embellishment and adding a subtle three-dimensional aspect. Patterns and instructions will be given to make each design. Then, Sarah will talk about how to put it all together! What a wonderful quilting experience!

SEMINOLE AND MORE
Seminole quilting is so called because it replicates the methods used by the Seminole Tribe. Shortly after the advent of the sewing machine, they began replicating their intricate basket patterns with fabric. They cut the fabric into narrow strips, sewed them together and then recut and re-resewed the pieces to create beautiful and intricate patterns. Quilters have borrowed these designs and enlarged them to enjoy a quick and easy method to generate pieced designs in a short amount of time. This class is hands-on. You will learn strip piecing techniques with Seminole patchwork band patterns, you’ll learn a technique for making strips (and blocks) with curved seams, and you’ll learn a trick or two for embellishment and adding a subtle three-dimensional aspect. Patterns and instructions will be given to make each design. Then, Sarah will talk about how to put it all together! What a wonderful quilting experience! Join Sarah as she guides you through the process!! Saturday, 12/5 ......................................................1-5 pm AND Sunday, 12/13............................................12-4 pm Instructor: Sarah Bond Sessions: 2 Fee: $65

Then you will prepare your materials and fabrics for the second class where we will sew and prepare the fabrics for signing.

This class is one size fits all! If you’ve been afraid to try free-motion quilting on a “real” quilt after taking our Machine Quilting Beginner class, then here is your chance for additional directed practice which will help you move to the next step. If you’ve been successful in quilting free-motion but want to work with more complicated designs or try your hand at quilting designs without any markings or tracings, this class will also give you that chance. Spend a few hours with Susan. Play with free-motion and sharpen your skills! Prerequisite: You must have completed a machine quilting class that included Free-motion Quilting. This class requires some home preparation before coming to class.
