Jump start your quilting skills with a 16 week intensive class. This class is for beginning quilters as well as those who just want to brush up on techniques. A Quilter's Corner is pleased to announce that Pat Abbitt's popular class is available now. This class has been given rave reviews by our customers with comments such as "best class I have ever taken," "I learned so much," "Pat is an amazing teacher with so much patience," "I now know how to make a quilt from start to finish," and "each class teaches you a new technique." This class is packed with information, tips and techniques! We will start with guidelines on how to choose fabrics, tools that are a must, and then learn a variety of construction and cutting techniques including strip piecing, triangles, applique, foundation (paper) piecing, using templates and Y seams. There are two sessions all about quilting and you will end up with a completed quilt! Most of the sewing and cutting will be done in class. This class format will be lecture, demonstration and then hands-on sewing. There is a $30 book fee (in addition to the class fee) payable directly to the instructor. Complete instructions and patterns are included along with approximately 48 hours of class time ( 3 hour class each week for 16 weeks).

Learn the basic skills of wool applique using embroidery stitches that enable you to create this darling show piece of gift! Yes, you can use it too!

With the pattern, instructions and techniques learned, the pincushion may be completed at home if you don't get it finished by the end of class~ A kit will be available
