ELEPHANT AND I Friday, May 20 and 27
Pam Hennings Time: 10:30-3:30
Elephant and I is a fun way to show off your paper piecing and applique skills. This is a fun-to-make quilt. The elephant and woman are appliqued using fusible interfacing so the edges are turned under. This applique is easy and gives the quilt a finished look. You can either machine or hand stich down you applique pieces. The paper pieces can be done by a jellyroll or scraps of fabric you have laying around. Fee: $45 (include both sessions) STRIP TUBE CLUB – TRUE COMPANION Saturday, April 30
Skill Level: All
Susan Taubel Time: 10:30-3:30
This quarter Strip Tube Club features the pattern True Companion. The quilt uses the basic strip tube method to create diagonally pieced blocks with simple cutting around the strip tube ruler. The block is set on-point and pieced setting triangles are cut with the strip tube ruler. The quilt is designed to use two color families. The accent fabric goes between two strips of color 1 and the background goes between two strips of color 2. See pattern for required number of strips for each color. Fee: $20
