Our three classes for this year promise to be very popular, and if you'd like to sign up, let me know. I'll have the sign-up sheets at the Annual Meeting April 5.
July 25 & 26, Pam Ventgen will teach Storm at Sea. I saw pictures of her quilt top, it is lovely. She had taught Storm at Sea years ago, but the rulers that were featured in her class are no longer available. She found other rulers that she likes, so here we go again, an old classic revisited! There's so much you can do with a Storm at Sea. We'll learn quite a bit that we didn't know. The class fee is $80 for the two day class.
August 15 & 16, Deb Tucker is coming back to teach a two-day class.
This will be based on the Rapid-Fire Lemoyne Star Tool, which many of us purchased for last year's classes. The first day of class, she'll teach different techniques that can be done with this tool, and on the second day she'll teach the Lucky Lemoyne pattern. If you missed her class last year, consider taking her class this year. She's an excellent teacher, breaks everything down so it's easy to follow, and is just one of us - lots of fun! Full of good energy, you'll be swept up and really enjoy yourself. The class fee is $95 for the two day class.
September 5 & 6, Kris Rutledge will be teaching paper piecing. She's allowing us to choose from two patterns: one is a wolf, and the other is a sunflower medley. They are stunning. There are those of us who love paper piecing, and some who don't at all. For the rest of you, I would encourage you to take this class. I've talked to others who have taken classes from her and loved the class. They found her teaching style to be easy to follow, very informative, and not above your head.
Also, you'll get plenty of great tips to start off, and if you're having troubles, she'll be there to help work through them.
We started sign-ups for our three classes this year at retreat, and they are very close to full. Do not let this stop you from signing up. Even if you go on a waiting list, people drop out, so your chances are not that bad.
All the instructors are working on their Class Requirements. As soon as you pay for a class, you will get the class requirements emailed to you.
