Vacation

Jaggie has not forgotten about you.  First of all, we got on the Global blacklist.  So we got off of that, we hope.  The the new computer, 2 months old, blew a gasket.  Then Jaggie got a new phone and all of the pictures from the last cruise and Myrtle Beach just disappeared.  Samsung girl, said something about we have to do this and that and I don't know what else.  Well, we're off another cruise, computer is still with the "Geeks" at Best Buy, so we're going on vacation till the 2nd of March. Hopefully March will be a better month.

01 - Quiltsmart Mini Mariner's Compass

Instructor: Veronica Cox

Veronica will teach you to navigate your way with a short cut to piecing this classic quilt pattern. Using a special interfacing made by Quiltsmart, you will be able to complete this intricate quilt in a fast and easy way. The completed mariner's compass block measures 21" x 21".

Kit includes the pattern, fabrics and Quiltsmart special interfacing.


02 - Puss in a Corner
Instructor: Lynn Roddy Brown 

This class is to be a fun, no pressure day of sewing. Lynn will cover scrap quilt theory, precise piecing and designing on a wall. Fabrics from you stash can be used to make this delightfully scrappy version of a traditional Puss in a Corner quilt. The 64" x 81" size is great for naps. The wonderful thing about scrap quilts is that if you are having fun you can make a larger quilt but if you want to stop with a smaller project that also works.

Kit includes the pattern and fabrics.


03 - Illuminated Journey©2014 Karen Overton

This is an original design by Karen Overton celebrating the 2015 Quilting Cruise offered by Cactus Quilts. The design is based on Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Designs Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star Ruler and project sheet. The centers are the same but you will have the two of different border treatments, one quilt with Piano Keys Border measuring 38" x 38" and other with the Diamonds Border measures 32"x32". Kits will be available in two color options (light or dark background).

Kit includes Fabric and Pattern.  Required tools will be sold separately.
