Pattern, Bali pops, background fabric, and binding is included in the class fee.  If you have ever wanted to make a lone star quilt, this is the fastest and easiest pattern we have found. Uses two Bali pops or another jelly roll with 40 strips. The pattern shows a modern adaptation by cutting off some of the points. To make a classic lone star quilt, just don’t cut off the points and add borders around the entire star. We will show you how.  Choose your color from a wide range of Bali pops, or use up one of your own jelly rolls.

Thursday Open Sewing

    Thursday from 1-4 pm
    Fee:  $8 per session.  No charge if you are finishing a project from one of our classes!

  Limited to 4 individuals.  Please call 941-330-0993 to register!
  
  This is not the same as a private class, however, we will help you with the details of finishing your project. Our "seasoned" staff has a combined pool of more than 150 years of knowledge and experience in quilting.  Duke is the applique and repair expert, Faye excels in free motion quilting and general quilt construction, Dawn is a master at paper piecing, Dena knows every aspect of deciphering patterns and making quilts, and Ella fills in the gaps, having worked on several thousand quilts over the last 17 years.  This unique mix of knowledge and skills in one place is unusual and you get to tap into this repository at the Open Sewing sessions.  Thursday sessions are akin to a quilt academy.     

    If this is your first time, please tell us what you are working on to make sure we can match your needs with a staff member.  This session is not appropriate for someone who has never made a quilt or for someone who needs one-on-one instruction.  Call 941-330-0993 for a Private Lesson.
