Once you try this new technique you can be incorporate it into many style bags, such as iPad and ereader covers, wallets, and cosmetic bags. For class you may choose either a 10″ purse or 16″ tote.

Learn a simple “quilt as you go” method while completing a beautiful table runner. (Since this table runner has arrived at CQ, it has attracted more attention than our other quilts! The picture does not do it justice.) The “quilt as you go” method can be used to make quilted vests, jackets, potholders, and many other quilted items. You will also be introduced to a simple way to make the pinwheel block used as the centerpiece of this table runner. We will also use the prairie braid and learn to bind the runner - the entire piece will be finished by the end of the three sessions! This is a great class for beginner quilters or those wishing to learn a new technique. Read more >

This amazing workshop will help you do something you may never have done before: design, develop, and sew your own story quilt! The process will give you a fabulous new vehicle for your creativity. You’ll have the chance to explore color and improvisation and celebrate a story of your life — it could be an action, an emotion, a blessing, an event, a place, a thought, or an observation. By the end of the class, you will have a completed quilt top ready for quilting and embellishment.
Required Skills: Basic piecing and appliqué skills would be best. Read more >
January 8 and 22 (Sundays); 1:00 - 4:00 pm
Instructor: Gail Picard
This amazing class will teach you how to make a quilt top, table runner, scarf, or other beautifully-pieced object without a pattern! All you need to do is to bring fabric; Gail will show you how to cut, flip, and sew them to make a beautiful project in the size of your choice. This class is a great exercise in letting go, designing a project without knowing the final look, letting the fabric speak for itself, and creating something utterly unique. Oh, and did I mention that it is also really easy??
