Heritage Quilt

 

Heritage Quilt
 

This is the first quilt Jenny Haskins designed and made and was a cream tone on tone quilt.  This quilt employs many embroidery and quilting techniques and represents the perfect way to learn  just what  you and your machine can do. For those of you who do not wish to construct this quilt as heritage in the original colours and tones and perhaps modern it up a bit we have it available in tan and black (picture below)  which may I say my young trendy niece absolutely loves.  Having said that there are of course endless combinations of colours and the techniques learned from this project are so confidence building and satisfying it will open doors to stairways of creativity you simply did not know you possessed.

Time: 9.30am — 12.30pm 

Cost: $25.00 per lesson per month Or $200.00 for 10 lessons

The Heritage Quilt book is essential for this project and is available for order in store

Note: This class is extremely  popular and the third Wednesday of the month is full.  We have only 2 spots left in the first Wednesday of the each month and we will be starting a new classes on the third Saturday of each month.

Learn Your Overlocker

Most of us that own an overlocker do not get the most out of it because we either do not understand what makes it tick or we are not confident enough to experiment with what it can do or we are to frightened to change stitch types because we would have to rethread the machine— sound familiar?  Come along for a one day instructional class where we will show you all the different stitches and what they are for, including the attachment of elastic, going around corners, rolled hemming and flat locking plus tips and tricks to help ease the pain of overlocking.
