PLEASE READ THE CLASS DETAILS CAREFULLY!

Join us for an afternoon of hand-sewing and scrappy quilt block creation. Following the pattern for a beginners lap quilt top, we'll spend one Sunday afternoon a month working on a different block. Blocks are easy to assemble and perfect for anyone who hasn't ever quilted before, using a *very simple* hand sewing technique. Lap quilt blocks will be made with scraps, with a large variety to chose from. 9 blocks will be created and the last few months will be dedicated to finishing your quilt top. Participants should be able to finish two scrappy quilt squares a session.

All 9 blocks will be on display at the Center's register area; each will be marked with the month and the name so it's clear which block will be featured during the month's session.

All materials provided and participants will receive a template set each month along with a storage bag for their creations. There will be irons and ironing pads available for use during class. Please feel free to bring your preferred needles/thread (but it will be on hand for those who need it). This will be a (random) scrappy quilt - no block will be the same; participants are welcome to bring their own fabric if they prefer a more uniform look.

This is a HAND SEWING class.

The blocks will be in this order:

Blocks 1 and 2 - Stripes and 9 Patch (June)

Block 3 - Picture Window (July)

Block 4 - 1/2" square Triangle 4 Patch (August)

Block 5 - Hourglass 4 Patch (September)

Block 6 - Lattice (October)

Block 7 - Flying Geese Zig-Zag (November)

Block 8 - Sawtooth Star (December)

Block 9 - Friendship Star Variation (January)

This will be a longer Sunday afternoon session to allow time for hand sewing. Participants are welcome to bring their own beverages and non-messy snacks.
