Window Pane Quilt with Jan Carlson

Local quilt community member Jan Carlson will provide instruction and insights on cutting, piecing and sewing a windowpane quilt top. Participants will start with a printed panel of their own choosing – any size, any theme. As with many things, the devil is in the details – squaring the panel is the first critical step, then deciding where to cut the panel is the next. The workshop will include a group discussion of the cutting possibilities for the variety of panels that are anticipated. The fee for members is $15.00 for this workshop. The fee for non-members is $25.00.

Quilted Jacket – Kelly Aker

Quilt project instructor Kelly Aker will lead this dynamic and rewarding workshop. Participants will have 4 patterns to choose from. Instructions and guidance for alterations to make the patterns longer or shorter will be provided. The patterns include options for collar design, and for buttons versus snaps. Jackets can be made from an old quilt, from new quilted pieces made by the participants in advance, or from reversible pre-quilted fabric like was used for the ruler bag workshop. The cost for this workshop is $20 for members and $25 for non-members. This fee includes one of the patterns, as chosen by the participant.

PLEASE NOTE: Participants will need to select pattern and size not later than the date of our September meeting (September 16) so the workshop chair can provide this information to the instructor. September 16 guild meeting will be the last day for signups.
