And classes coming up...
Trip Around the World with Dawn Shirron: Using the methods of Eleanor Burns “Quick Trips”, learn how easy these multi colored quilts can be. This class is geared for the beginning to intermediate quilter, so any skill level is welcome. Monday mornings, 10 - 1, July 5th and 12th, are the dates for this 2 part class, $40.00 plus book and materials.
Yellow Brick Road with Dawn Shirron: This class was so popular, we had to bring it back again. This is a great class for beginning quilters. You will gain confidence in fabric selection and since the blocks are big, it doesn’t take any time at all to get a great looking top finished. You will be so proud!! This 2 part class will be held Wednesday evenings, June 30th and July 7th, 6 - 9. $35.00 plus pattern and materials.
Delectable Mt with Dawn Shirron: This installment of Delectable Mt. will incorporate a panel into the center of the quilt rather than a starting block. Learn how to adapt the pattern for your panel. Or stick with the classic and build a traditional block for the center. This 2 part class will be held Sunday mornings, 10 - 1, July 11th and July 18th, $40.00 plus book and materials. Come see all three great samples at the Shop.
*** DON'T FORGET, THE COVINGTON QUILT GUILD SHOW IS JULY 23RD, 24TH AND 25TH AT CEDAR HEIGHTS MIDDLE SCHOOL IN COVINGTON, WA ***
And coming in the fall ...Joyce Becker's Quick Little Landscape Quilts: Fast and fun! Create a "mini" landscape collage in nothing flat, using Joyce's original "cut and glue" raw edge applique' techniques. You'll design your landscape to fit inside any sized photo mat but she recommends starting with an 8" x 10" photo mat. You may end up with a couple of completed "minis" by the end of the class. Principals of design, scale, perspective and value are taught, along with stitching and embellishing techniques. Open to everyone - NO LANDSCAPE EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!!! Joyce will bring painting/embellishing supplies. This class will be held Saturday, November 20th, 10 - 4, $50.00 plus materials. Contact Joanne at the shop about the supply list.
Coming later in the summer and fall: Pillow Case Challenge workshop with Darlene Girton, Chenille Throw with Jenni Christensen, plus much more in store. And we would like to announce Irene Moss joining our list of talented instructors.
