Back by popular demand – Quilting! This class is not just for girls – boys are welcome to join us as well. This class will teach more than just sewing. It will teach color, design, attention to detail, and perseverance. The final product of our 8-week class will be a 40”x40” lap-size sampler friendship quilt.

Our 1st lesson will discuss color theory and the students will choose a block pattern to make (see pictures below for examples) Then they will create “accessories” in which to keep their supplies and their work.

Lesson 2 will commence with the making of the block of their choice. They will make 1 block for themselves and 1 block for each attendee. When they are finished with their blocks they will add their initials. Then they will swap blocks and piece them all together. Their quilt will be a forever reminder of the weeks spent with new friends.

There will be fabric to choose from, however if your child has (100% cotton) fabric that they would like to use, they are free to bring it along. They will need to supply a rotary cutter which looks sort of like a pizza cutter but with a smaller blade. (see attached picture) They can be found at Walmart or Joanne’s - hint: Walmart is cheaper. As well as tiny scissors (no more than 2”, just to cut threads), a seam ripper, and needles (#9 quilting needles).
Fabric, thread and a cutting mat will be provided.

Note: The cost includes both the materials and instruction time. AND the quilts can be entered into the HAHA Art Show in May!
