SUMMARY:03/14/26 - Seeking Sunflowers! Schoolhouse - Becky Kinzer
DESCRIPTION:Seeking Sunflowers! From 1:00-5:00 on the afternoon of March 14th\, please join our 2026 Programs Chair\, Becky Kinzer\, in stitching one of two 12 ½” sunflower block designs. \nBlue and yellow are the colors of the Ukrainian flag\, and the sunflower is Ukraine’s national flower.  The blocks that Becky has selected for this class are suitable for donating to “Wrap The World In Quilts\,” a non-profit organization providing quilt blocks to Ukraine. It is Becky’s hope that after learning these patterns and methods\, you will choose to donate one or more of the blocks created in class to Wrap the World with Quilts’ Ukrainian Project. The patterns will be yours to keep\, and you can create as many blocks as you wish after class has ended. \nFor one of the blocks\, Becky will teach a method to create multiple half-square-triangles that results in a beautiful flower. The other block does not use HST but makes a fast Bear Paw block that depicts a sunflower.  \nBecky plans to donate any teaching fees that she receives to Wrap the World with Quilts. Guild members may also choose to participate in this class for free if they plan to donate the blocks they create in class. If you are choosing this option\, please send an email to schoolhouse@boisebasinquilters.org so that we will know how many participants to prepare for! \nAny blocks that participants choose to donate will be used to build a 1\,100 meter-long quilt to stretch the length of Kyiv’s main street. Blocks provided by over 36 countries will create a demonstration to symbolize unity\, resilience\, and peace. The blocks will then be made into quilts for distribution to civilians and soldiers there. \nIf you choose\, you may also talk to Becky about how to donate blocks on your own if you are not participating in the Schoolhouse class. \nSupplies Needed: \nFabric* (See note below.)\nStraight stitch sewing machine\nNeutral Thread\, a few pins\nRotary Cutter and mat\nRulers helpful are 6 ½” square and 12” or longer ruler\nPencil or chalk marker\nIron\, pad and extension cord (or you can use the iron provided) \n*Please bring yellow\, blue and any other supporting colored fabric that you choose (green\, brown and white were used in these examples). Some blue and yellow fabric will be provided so feel free to come even if you do not have that fabric.  If you plan to bring your own fabric\, cutting it to size as per the block instructions before coming to class will help to ensure that you have time to finish the block in class!

SUMMARY:02/28/26 - Quartered Stripes Baby Quilt Schoolhouse by Barbara Doogan
DESCRIPTION:This can be a baby quilt or a wall hanging. There is the option to make it bigger.  All you need is a striped fabric and a border fabric (or two).  The most difficult part is actually finding a striped fabric you like.  Although a fabric with regularly spaced lines will work just fine.  Try to find a fabric with irregular stripes.  The amount of fabric listed will yield 16 blocks.  There are 2 different blocks.  You can add applique’ or replace some blocks with other designs.  The possibilities are only limited by your imagination! \nSupplies –\n•	1 ¼ yard of striped cotton fabric\n•	Coordinating fabric for borders \nThe body of this quilt finishes about 36” plus the width of any border you want to add.  Double the amount of fabric if you want a larger quilt \n•	Straight stitch sewing machine-cleaned\, oiled\,  new needle\n•	Pins and clips\n•	Thread\n•	Rotary cutter with a new blade\n•	Rotary mat (minimum 12×18”  Use larger mat if possible)\n•	Square ruler with diagonal line 10” or bigger\n•	Rotary ruler – longer than 10”\n•	Rotary turntable 10” or larger (Optional) \nThe registration and cancellation deadline is February 21\, 2026.

SUMMARY:01/31/26 - No-Sew Braided Rug Schoolhouse Janice Black
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to try your hand at making a small braided rug entirely from braiding\, with no sewing at all involved? If so\, this class is for you! Janice Black\, our Schoolhouse chair\, would love to share this technique with you! \nSupplies and Fabric Choices:  \nYou can make your rug as scrappy or as color-coordinated as you like\, but I have found that choosing a single fabric and including it throughout most of the rug (like the solid dark red in one of the rugs shown\, and the dusty solid plum color in the other rug) can help tie everything else together.  You will find that colors play together very differently in a braided rug than they do in a quilt\, so once you have found your main “foundation” fabric to use throughout the rug\, you may find it the most pleasing to pull colors from just one other color family to use with it. Your fabrics do not need to be carefully chosen to exactly match . . . they will end up blending in a way that is similar to mixing paint. So\, for example\, two different shades of pink that would look terrible if used together in a quilt would probably look just fine when braided together. \nI’m really not sure how to estimate how much fabric you will need\, but you’ll probably need more than you would think! It partly depends on the size of rug you’d like to complete\, and on how wide you choose to cut your strips (which is what determines the thickness of the rug). To keep your cost down\, I would recommend purchasing an old sheet or two from a thrift store that could be used to create the major part of the rug. There is no need to use high-quality quilting cottons for this. The red rug is one that I made for my daughter from vintage double-knit fabrics\, and it turned out really well! \nTo help with guesstimating the amount of fabric needed . . . I used about seven yards of the solid plum fabric\, so probably a total of more than fourteen yards of fabric in all.  For a small rug just big enough to allow you to learn the technique\, I’m guessing you would need at least 3-5 yards of fabric. \nYou will also need a pair of scissors or small but heavy-duty snips for cutting slits to join the strips together. The strips can also be cut with scissors\, or you may want to bring a rotary cutter for that.  I do not recommend cutting all of your strips in advance\, because stopping periodically to cut strips can give your wrists a break from the repetitive motion of braiding the rug. \nAdditional Recommendations: Please note that knowing how to braid before coming to class would be very helpful. The class will probably also be easier for you if you are familiar with the concept of increasing on curves from having done some crochet or knitting (although I can certainly try to guide you through this if you are not familiar with it).  Finally\, I would not recommend the class for someone who currently experiences a lot of pain in their wrists or hands.

SUMMARY:Quilt as You Go Schoolhouse by Kathy Hansen  10/25/25
DESCRIPTION:Kathy Hansen describes her Quilt As You Go Class as a flexible quilting technique that is fast\, fun and scrap friendly. There are many variations to this technique which we will discuss in class\, but I will show you how to strip piece and quilt at the same time. When your four blocks are completed\, we will attach them with sashing on the front and back of the quilt. Voila\, a completed 4 block quilt ready to bind. \nWe will make strip quilt blocks in class\, but this technique can be used with any block\, and even borders can be attached with the sashing. The back can be one fabric\, or a variety of coordinating fabrics can be used to make a reversible quilt. You may choose to keep adding blocks to make a larger quilt. The strip placement can be random or organized to form a pattern. This technique can be personalized in many ways. \nThings to consider: \n\nThe size you want this quilt to be. The 4 blocks can be bound as a small wall hanging/table topper or be the beginning of a larger\nThe back pieces can be the same on all the blocks\, or they can be random fabrics.\nIf you choose to make more than the four blocks\, you will need more of the sashing fabric. The sashing fabric requires more yardage than expected\, as there are pieces on the top and bottom.\nYou can make your blocks random or use the same fabrics in each block to form a You can even make a portion of the block a single piece of fabric.\nAdding quilting on the top of a finished block adds more interest\, and it is a good opportunity to use the decorative stitches on your sewing machine.\n\nSupplies: \nFabrics: \nEnough strips\, at least six inches long and any width\, precut or cut before coming to class\, to make four blocks 12 1/2 inches square. I use mostly 2 1/2-inch strips\, and a jelly roll can be used. \n1/2 yard of a sashing fabric. We will cut the sashing in class \n4 -13 1/2 inches squares of batting \n4 -13 1/2-inch squares of backing\, all the same or a variety of fabrics \n  \nYou will also need: \nSewing machine \nRotary cutter\, mat\, \nRulers\, one to cut sashing\, and a 12 1/2 inch ruler if you have one Thread\, and quilting thread if you want to add quilting \nSeam ripper\, pins\, scissors \nOther sewing tools you regularly use

SUMMARY:Thread Sketching 101 - Adding Detail and Texture to Your Quilt - 1-day Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \nRegistration is now open to everyone!\nThis class is intended to be accessible to people who may not be ready to follow through with Judith’s whole process\, although all registrants must have some past experience with free-motion quilting. \nMaster the art of using thread to enhance the colors and textures of your quilt in this hands-on class. You will explore various types of threads and learn how to choose the best ones for your project. Additionally\, the course will guide you in selecting the right battings and interfacings to achieve your desired results\, along with determining the appropriate sewing machine needles for the task. We will also touch on free-motion stitching techniques and how to put more emphasis on design details. Students can either work with botanical panels painted by Judith and printed by Spoonflower or bring their own panels. If you opt to bring your own\, please send a photo of your panel to Judith at least two weeks before the class so that she can provide feedback on the pros and cons of your chosen panel and how to choose the appropriate thread. \nBesides having the eight different botanical blocks that she has designed for the workshop printed by Spoonflower\, Judith is also putting together thread sets for each block. Kits that include a botanical block (approximately 12 x 14″) and 12 spools of polyester or rayon thread chosen for that block will be $35\, payable directly to Judith at the workshop. \nIf you prefer to supply your own threads (or if you’d just like some extra blocks so that you can continue practicing your new thread-sketching skills!)\, you may also purchase blocks separately for $6 each. \nPlease let Judith know by Sept. 1st whether you plan to purchase a kit and/ or individual blocks from her\, and if so\, which block(s). She will be printing blocks and purchasing thread for the sets based on this information. \nTo order a kit or block (or if you have any questions about the class or supply list)\, please reach out to Judith at phelpsjudith@yahoo.com . \nSupply List: \n(If you have purchased the supply kit\, please exclude the first two items. If you have purchased the fabric panel\, please exclude the first item.) \n1. Fabric panel\n2. 12 polyester threads or rayon threads to match colors in panel. \n• Fat quarter for backing fabric\, measuring 18” x 22” (I prefer black). Ensure the backing is larger than both the top and batting\, allowing you to fold it over to the front to cover the batting. This helps maintain a cleaner surface for thread painting.\n• Batting\, approximately 14” x 16” (I use Warm and Natural)\n• Interfacing: 2 pieces 12” x 14” – nonwoven fusible light weight or medium weight (Pellon can be used)\n• One each black and white spools of polyester or rayon thread\n• Pencil (I use a mechanical for fine line)\n• Black ultra fine point Sharpie\n• Sewing machine in good working order\n• Extension table for sewing machine if you have one\n• Open Toe sewing foot (Free Motion Foot also known as a Darning Foot)\n• An extension cord\n• A sample sandwich to test tension\n• 12 empty bobbins for your sewing machine or bobbins filled with your thread colors\n• Scissors: fabric and small scissors to cut threads\n• Tweezers: optional but really helps when trying to control threads\n• Marking tools – your preference – I use Frixon Pens – can be found at Office Supply Stores or Michaels\n• Microtex Sewing Needles 70/10 (Schmetz)\n• Safety pins\n• Straight pins\n• Portable light (optional)\n• Pressing cloth – can be old sheets\n• Seam ripper\n• Camera: optional \nCost for the workshop is $55. Refunds for cancellations may be requested until Sept.1st\, 2025. After that date\, registrations become nonrefundable\, unless we are able to find someone to fill your spot.

SUMMARY:The Joy of Using Paint and Thread to Color Your Quilt - 2-Day Workshop (10/16/25 and 10/18/25)
DESCRIPTION:Note:  This is a two day workshop scheduled for Thursday\, October 16\, 2025\, and Saturday\, October 18\, 2025. \nThis two-day workshop walks participants through the hand-painting and thread-painting process that Judith uses for her quilts.  She says\, “Painting on fabric can be so much fun.  Seeing the colors come to life on your cloth and actually creating a design on fabric that is just yours can be so rewarding\, and I hope quilters come away with the realization that it isn’t as hard as many people think it might be.” \nIn this workshop\, students will learn the basics of painting and using photos to design their own fabric  A supply kit that includes the necessary fabric paints and a set of twelve threads will be put together by Judith and can be purchased directly from her at the workshop for $55. (Kit is optional if students already have the appropriate paint and threads and prefer to use their own.) If you plan to purchase a kit\, please let Judith know by Sept. 1st so that she can have enough time to put one together for you. \nOn the first workshop day\, Thursday\, participants will learn how to transfer a photo to fabric.  They will then paint the block.  Judith has designed blocks specifically for use in the workshop\, and they are beautiful!  (See examples shown.)  Students may paint as many or s few of the bloks as they wish\, as time permits. \nOn Friday\, there is no class!  Students may finish painting their blocks or paint additional ones in their own time and space.  they must also use this day to sandwich their blocks and prepare them for thread painting! \nWhen participants return on Saturday\, October 18\, Judith will share tips and techniques for thread painting\, and students will spend the day thread painting their projects under Judith’s tutelage.  Finishing techniques and ideas for the blocks will also be touched on briefly. \nNote that this class is not intended for beginning quilters.  Participants should have at least some experience in free-motion quilting.  No painting experience is necessary:  you must simply have the confidence to attach painting on your own blocks. \nRegistration maximum is 15 students.  This workshop is currently sold out.  You may add your name to the waitlist by sending an email to programs@boisebasinquilters.org.  Refunds for cancellations are available until September 1\, 2025\, after which registrations become nonrefundable…and any remaining openings will be opened to nonmembers.

SUMMARY:One Block Wonder Schoolhouse - 07/12/25 & 07/26/25
DESCRIPTION:Former guild president Jennifer Price will show you how to create a “One-Block Wonder”! This is a two-part class\, but your $15 registration fee will get you into both sections!  In the first class you will learn to line up your panels\, cut your triangles to create the hexagons for your quilt.  We will talk about techniques to keep your cut hexagons organized and how to assemble them\, and begin sewing them together. \nIn the second class\, you will come with all of your half hexagons sewn together and you will learn how to assemble your quilt.  This is when your creativity will get to shine.  We will talk about different ways to design and lay out your quilt design.   \nYou will need:\nSeven (7) fabric panels\, all alike.\n60 degree triangle ruler (I have one that can be shared\, but you will probably want your own)\n24” Ruler for cutting\nFlat head pins (the flowers work best)\nA fine point Sharpie\, or a regular pen and lots of small scraps of paper\nCutting Mat and rotary cutter (There will be a couple of cutting stations but you may want your own.)\nSewing Machine\nNeutral or matching color thread (wind bobbins for class to save some frustration)\nScissors or snips\nUsual Notions \nYou may also want to locate one of the books written by Maxine Rosenthal and Nancy Miller on this technique. The book is not required for the class (nor is “One Block Wonder” a copyrighted technique!) but you might find the book helpful later in remembering the steps and processes.

SUMMARY:Foundation Paper Piecing with Freezer Paper - Schoolhouse
DESCRIPTION:Originally scheduled for April 27\, this class has been rescheduled for June 29.  At this point\, attendance is currently full\, but check back in case that changes. \nJoyce Cambron has been quilting for over 30 years\, and was employed at both The Cotton Club and The Quilt Crossing. She first learned the freezer paper technique in a 3-day workshop with Judy Mathieson in 2002\, making a large Mariner’s Compass quilt. In 2010\, Leisure Arts published her book on machine piecing curved seams\, including 6 projects using her technique with freezer paper. \nJoyce is eager to share this fun technique with you! You’ll be introduced to the technique with an Off-Center Log Cabin Block and then move on to a Wonky House Block that Joyce will use for discussing the challenges of odd-shaped fabric pieces and what’s involved in sewing multiple sections into a block.” \nSupply List: \nThis technique was introduced to me over 20 years ago in a workshop with Judy Mathieson. Since then I have applied her technique to many Foundation Piecing designs.\nUsing Freezer Pape r for foundations has several advantages including the fact that the foundations can be re-used multiple times if handled care fully; and even better\, you don’t need to tear away the paper. \nClass Supplies\nBasic sewing supplies\nSewing machine\, thread and loaded bobbins Rotary cutter\, rulers and matt\nScissors for both fabric and paper Travel or craft iron and ironing surface\nPermanent marker for labeling foundation areas (Black Fine Point Sharpie) Optional: Add-a-Quarter Ruler\, any length.\nI will bring my collection of  Add-a-Quarters for students to try but please don’t purchase one until you decide if you like this technique. \nPlease bring an old sewing machine needle for perforating paper. \nJoyce will provide pre-printed foundations on 8 1/2″ x 11″ freezer paper sheets for both of the projects. \nOff-Center Log Cabin Blocks \nThe Log Cabin is a standard for Foundation Piecing. It’s a fine beginning project for learning the Freezer Paper technique.  I’ve chosen the Off-Center design because four finished blocks can be used to create a  pillow top or small wall hanging with a little more zing.  You can choose whether to finish the extra three foundations you’ll be creating in class\, or just make the one. \nPlease pre-cut strips. They do not have to be precisely cut – we will trim them as we move along. \nWide Strips: 1 3/4″ – 2″ wide (See Reds)\nThese are the fabrics you’ll choose for the “center” if you’re planning a 4-block top. You’ll need about 54 inches total for one block\, 216 inches total for 4 blocks.\nNarrow Strips:  1 1/4″ – 1 1/2″ wide	(See Blacks)\nThese are the fabrics which for the “background” for a 4-block “circle”. Cut about 60 inches for one block\, 240 inches for 4. \nWonky House Block \nThis 8-inch block can be finished as a potholder\, or as the center of a larger project.\nFeel free to bring plenty of fabric scraps. I’m giving you minimal sizes for the larger areas of the block. \nBackground: 6″ x 20″\nHouse: 2 1/2″ x 16″\nDoor: 2 1/2″ x 4″\nChimney:   1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″\nWindow: 2″ x 2″\nTree: 4″ x 6″\nRoof: 2″ x 12″\nTrunk: 2” x 2 1/2”

SUMMARY:Introduction to Curved Piecing - BBQ Schoolhouse
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Curved Piecing taught by Lynne MacDonald \nSewing curved pieces has a bad reputation for being difficult and so not fun. WRONG! I’m going to pass along some processes learned from several teachers\, and hope that you will become a ‘curve-a-holic’ like I now am. I find that these methods allow for stress-free creation of smooth and highly accurate curves. \nI’ll demonstrate three approaches that serve different purposes. One uses commercial templates. This approach is highly suited to traditional patterns like Robbing Peter to Save Paul (one of my very favorite designs). The second approach\, learned from several classes I’ve taken from Jean Wells\, is highly suited to improv quilting and making modern landscapes\, and it requires no templating!! The last approach\, learned in classes from Patricia Belyea\, will allow you to create your own designs and easily assemble even complex curved patterns thru the use of freezer paper templates and a nifty marking method. \nThe goal of the class is to show you several different techniques to try\, and have the opportunity to practice each. Don’t expect to end the day with a finished item. I’m NOT an expert…if I can do this (and I CAN)\, you can do this \nSupply list:\nfabric (sizable scraps and fat quarters\, colors/patterns with contrast to show off curved lines. Aim for sufficient to make three finished blocks\, if you are a speed demon.)\nfreezer paper (Reynolds\, available at any grocery\, but I’ll bring my roll for you to pull from)\ncurved templates if you already own some (I’ll bring templates you can borrow\, so no need to shop if you own none as of yet)\nSharpie (fat tip black)\nprismacolor pencils in colors to easily show on your dark and light fabrics (ONLY Prismacolor—if you have none\, you can use mine. Other pencil brands cause a problem\, I’ve forgotten what it is\, but think it’s related to ironing)\nfabric marking tools (chalk or other preferred fine tip disappearing marker) for marking around/in templates\nsewing machine\nthread (it’s good to reduce seam bulk in curves\, so recommend load bobbins with a light weight & top spool with light or medium weight)\ncutting mat\nrotary cutters\, either or both of a small and/or medium diameter\, with sharp blade (I know…lists always say this\, yet we still often hope the old blade is good enough). If you have one\, nice to also have your cutter you use for paper.\ncutting ruler(s) (include one\, like a 6×12\, that is short and narrow enough to easily move around\, and has a clearly visible 1/4″ line along one edge)\npins (recommend thin pins\, like silk pins\, as you typically can sew across them rather than have to keep stopping to pull them ahead of your needle)\npaper scissors and fabric scissors\nseam ripper\, and if it will not also double as a stiletto\, bring a stiletto\nironing mat and iron to use near your machine\, if you want to save time running to a class board (you do a lot of seam pressing)

SUMMARY:Big Stitch Quilting - Quilters Schoolhouse - Class is full
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Janice Black\nDate: Saturday\, January 6\, 2024\nLocation: Boise Rigging Supply\, 6750 West Victory Road\, Boise\nCost: $15 \nMore information…\nBig-stitch quilting uses chunky contrasting threads and large stitches to finish a quilt rapidly by hand while adding a lot of texture and interest. Although this type of quilting has been around for a long time and can be found in antique quilts\, it has enjoyed a recent revival in popularity and works especially well with modern quilts. It is a perfect starting point for people who are complete beginners at hand quilting and also works well for people who have quilted by hand for a long time but are starting to have difficulty with tiny hand stitches because of arthritis or problems with their eyesight. \nIn this class\, you will have plenty of time to practice the technique either on your own project or on a small quilt provided by BBQ’s Quilts for Kids special activities division. \nThis is the recommended supply list: \n-A quilting hoop. These are different from embroidery hoops. They can be purchased fairly inexpensively from Joann’s if you use one of their 50% off coupons. I also have a couple that I can lend out (first come\, first served)\, or you might be able to borrow one from a fellow quilter. \n-A quilt project to work on. You may either bring your own pre-sandwiched project\, or use one provided by BBQ’s Quilts for Kids department. If you use your own\, it needs to be larger than your quilting hoop and should be basted with thread (3” long basting stitches are fine!) rather than spray-basted. Polyester or wool battings are highly recommended for this class because they are much easier than cotton to stitch through by hand. If you strongly prefer a cotton batt\, try to find one that has no scrim. \n-Chunky thread that contrasts nicely with your project. Perle cotton in size 12 or 16 is recommended. Size 8 gives a wonderful eye-catching effect and you are welcome to use it\, but be aware that it will tire your hands and wrists more quickly. The amount of thread needed will vary according to your project size and how densely you plan to quilt. 1-3 spools are probably sufficient for a small project. \n-A strong\, sharp needle with an eye large enough for your selected thread size. Chenille needles are my favorite\, but you might prefer to use a large crewel embroidery needle\, a sashiko needle\, or a needle specifically made for big-stitch quilting. \n-Thread snips or scissors \n-A thimble. Thimble designs are a matter of personal preference\, but do find one that fits well and feels stable (not wobbly) on your finger. My favorite is Bohin’s gold-plated brass thimble\, a fairly inexpensive thimble that can fit more than one of your fingers nicely because of its long\, tapered design. A thimble design with a raised circle at the tip can help keep your needle from slipping off. If you have long nails\, you may want to try a Clover open-sided thimble.

SUMMARY:Making Fabric – Improv “Crumb” Quilting - Quilters Schoolhouse
DESCRIPTION:Click here to see other classes \nInstructor: Terri Curry\, BBQ Past President & Past Quilt Show Chair\nDate: Saturday\, October 21\nLocation: Boise Rigging Supply\, 6750 West Victory Road\, Boise\nCost: $15 \nThis class is back by popular request. \nNo! There is no loom involved. This class is a way of piecing fabric together to make a block or strip of a desired size. The method is a cross between crazy quilting and improvisational work. Don’t become intimidated. It’s not difficult. Some quilter’s call it crumb blocks. The result of your work will be a surprising and very interesting way to use scraps and even small orphan blocks by playing with color. \nUse your own scraps or scraps supplied by the instructors. Many quilters use the end result to make a quilt divided by sashing or use them with other neutral tones. You will leave the class with blocks and new ideas to use in your quilts or projects along with resources to help you. \nQuestions about this class\, suggestions for future classes\, or would like to volunteer with Quilters’ Schoolhouse contact Janice Black at schoolhouse@boisebasinquilters.org.

SUMMARY:Vintage 2-Fer
DESCRIPTION:“Vintage 2-Fer”: “Quilting With Vintage Linens and Doilies” and “Rescue Those Memories\, Honor Those Talents: A Primer on Repairing Vintage Quilt Tops”\nTwo classes will be held on April 29.\nCost: Just $15 gets you into both classes! \n“Lois Alice ~ Vintage Linen ” \nClass 1 – morning\nInstructor: Lois Alice\nClass Title: Quilting With Vintage Linens and Doilies\nTime: 9am – 12pm \nGet out those vintage linens and doilies\, or start collecting some now! Come join BBQ member Lois Alice in a half-day class for suggestions on what to do with old doilies\, table runners or even handkerchiefs. She will have several examples of what she did with some of her Grandmother’s handwork. Since there is no right or wrong way to turn your vintage linens (or not so vintage) into a usable quilt (or curtain\, tote\, pincushion or other object)\, she will have lots of suggestions appealing to different tastes\, plus websites for other ways to turn something that you have in a pile into something that you can use. \nSupply list: a sewing machine is optional. Most of Lois’ work was done by hand\, except for the final quilting. Dig out fun backgrounds for your pieces….that piece of lamé\, or satin or silk… things to sew on top of the vintage pieces…buttons\, lace\, frilly yarn\, seed beads\, commercial appliqué motifs (think prom or wedding outfits). Hand dyed fabric or samples of decorator fabric also work well. \nClass 2 – afternoon\nInstructor: Vicki Francis\nClass Title: Rescue Those Memories\, Honor Those Talents: A Primer on Repairing Vintage Quilt Tops\nTime: 1pm – 3pm \nWhat do we do with those quilt tops that come our way that have been hidden in garages and attics for decades? Memories can flood back as you touch the fabric but what to do with them now? We want to honor the quilt maker but this is a different animal from starting a quilt from scratch! \nVicki Francis began specializing in repairing vintage quilt tops about six years ago when a friend begged her to work on a baby quilt that had fabric from seven generations of family members in it. Reluctantly she took on the project but then discovered how heartwarming these “rescues” can be and the miraculous transformations that can happen with the right set of skills\, tools and materials. \nJoin Vicki for an afternoon of sharing her knowledge. Here are some points she will address: \n\nShould we even try to rescue it?\nShould it be cleaned? How to clean without damaging it further?\nHow to stabilize fragile fabric before even considering quilting it.\nWhat types of quilting patterns work best and why?\nHow to “interview” the quilt owners and create the provenance for future generations.\n\nFeel free to bring a quilt top to the workshop for possible suggestions on how to handle repairs. However time is a consideration so not all tops may be discussed. Interested in scheduling time with Vicki? Contact her at vickannie4@gmail.com for a $25 private consultation outside of the workshop.

SUMMARY:Creative Design workshop by Joe Cunningham 10/16-17/26 2-Day Event
DESCRIPTION:Joe will demonstrate and teach how to develop a small idea into an abstract quilt. Along the way I will teach the techniques I use for freehand piecing\, working with bias tape\, and creating memorable compositions. Under my instructions\, students will develop their own designs and get them to a point where they can be completed. \nSince the cost is supplemented by the guild (making this workshop available at less than half its price elsewhere!)\, registration will be available only to guild members until Aug. 20\, 2026. On that date\, nonmembers are invited to register for any remaining workshop spots.  \nAug.20th is also the final day to cancel and receive a refund. \nSUPPLIES \nThis is primarily a machine class but some hand sewing may be required.  \nBesides your sewing machine and standard machine sewing equipment\, you will also need the following items: \nExtension cord\, pins\, seam ripper\, etc.\nRotary cutter\, mat and rulers\nIron and pressing board (a few will also be available to share)\nScissors\nBias tape and matching thread (3 packs)\nAt least six yards of fabric\, including fabrics that contrast strongly.\nA 40″ wide design board (may be flannel or something similar\, to be taped to the wall). Design board may be longer vertically than 40″\, but only 40″ of wall width per person will be available horizontally.
