Classes
Autumn Breeze
Saturday, September 27th or Monday, September 29th
10:00-5:00
We are tricking you a bit with this one because we called it
Summer Heat in August. The class filled and lots of vacationers would have
missed this so we would like you to have the opportunity to make this tremendous
quilt.
Instructor: Melanie Magdzik
Instruction fee: $100 includes book and fabric roll of your
choice
October 2008
Our Weekend Block Party 2008 is rapidly approaching. Pam’s
landscape class is full but we still have room in Shelley’s class. It promises
to be another fabulous time. We’re offering lots of fun and easy classes in
October. I’m planning some new things for the shop; I’m still mulling it
over in my head but once I start thinking it can be dangerous. Mrs. Landry
(Kathy Too) will be back in October and we’re all looking forward to that.
Classes
Bernina Day
Saturday, October 4th 10:00-12:30
This is a quick project using your favorite feet. You’ll be
making a cute little Origami bag. We were shown this by a lady from Montreal
that taught Bernina projects at her local quilt shop.
Instructor: Melanie Magdzik
Instruction fee: $20 includes fabric for project
Keyhole Runner
Saturday, October 4th 1:00-5:00
Using a set of our unique and beautiful strips, you’ll be
able to complete this project in no time. This pattern also lends itself nicely
to placemats. You’ll need the book "On a Roll Again".
Instructor: Kathy
Instruction fee: $60 (this includes your jelly roll of
choice)
Getting Started with EQ
Monday, October 6th 10:30-4:30
If you have the program EQ 5 or EQ 6 and you’re not sure
how to use it, this may be the push to get you started. You’ll need your
laptop for this class. And your program loaded on it.
Instructor: Melanie Magdzik
Instruction fee: $30
Beginners Quilting
Saturday, October 11th or 10:00-5:00
If you’ve always wanted to learn to quilt but have not
wanted to dedicate weeks to learn you may want to check out this class. You’ll
learn everything you need to get started and even finish a small project
designed by us. You will learn how to use the tools properly, which brands do
the best job, how to strip piece, how to press, apply borders, quilt and bind a
simple placemat. All fabric is supplied to complete two placemats. One you’ll
do in class and one you’ll complete at home. This will be a very productive
and rewarding day.
Instructor: Melanie Magdzik
Instruction fee: $85.00 plus gst (includes fabric to complete
project)
Melanie’s Block
Wednesday, October 8th 10:30-4:00 or
Saturday October 18th 10:30-4:00
We’ve added the block of the month on a Saturday now by
request. This month will start the Christmas series again but a different block.
Once again the option is to make it into a quilt with all your other blocks or a
beautiful thing yet to be determined at this precise moment.
Instructor: Melanie Magdzik
Instruction fee: $20.00 (includes pattern)
Toothbrush Placemat
Monday, October 13th 10:00-4:00
Alecia from Ontario (formerly P.G.) came in this summer and
was so excited about this technique that’s all the rage in Ontario. She showed
us how to do it and so I had to order the supplies. I got the handy dandy
instructional DVD and Kim and I watched it in Rupert and I started making a
sample. It’s addicting and it uses up fabric big time. So if you’re at a
loose end on Thanksgiving Monday then come and try this out with us. You don’t
need a sewing machine.
Instructor: Kathy
Instruction fee: $40 includes Fabric, pattern & shiv
(that’s what they call a pointed toothbrush in the "joint")
Mrs. Landry’s Potluck Tote
Thursday, October 16th 10:00-5:00
I know some of you have seen this kind of tote but Mrs.
Landry has taken it a step further and made it much better. If you’ve ever
gone to a pot luck affair and had to bring your own plates etc. you know how
inconvenient it can be. With this handy dandy tote you’ll have no problem at
all. They make a great gift. If fact, I would like one.
Instructor: Kathy Too
Instruction fee: $60.00 includes your fabric and batting
Weekend Block Party 2008
Saturday and Sunday 10:00-5:00, October 25th &
26th; held upstairs at the Civic Centre
Weekend fee is $200 (This includes a buffet dinner Saturday
evening). You’ll have a choice of two classes:
Basics in the Art of Fabric Embellishment
Shelley Tobisch: Shelley will be showing you how to construct
a designer bag while using cords, decorative thread, beads, yarns etc. You’ll
get the most out of your specialty and regular machine feet. Shelley is a master
of embellishment and her knowledge is without end. (well, I haven’t seen the
end yet anyway).
Surface Embellishment (This class is full)
Just a little reminder, classes must be paid at the time of
registration. There are no refunds, rain checks, credits etc.
We continue to appreciate your support by purchasing your
class supplies from us to ensure the quality of your product and to keep class
fees at our current cost, and let’s face it, it just keeps our business in
business. If a class uses a particular book or pattern, each participant must
purchase or be in possession of that book or pattern; photocopies are forbidden
and illegal.
