Morning Everyone!
Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine for the last few days as much as I have.....it seems like spring might actually have sprung....FINALLY!!!
Okay...in June I have the following classes on the schedule:
June 1st - we are having our Block of the Month ladies that Saturday morning....the blocks will be ready the week before if Saturday isn't convenient. If you have any questions or problems, don't hesitate to stop by and we will help you all we can. For anyone who may have had any cutting errors, we have extra fabric at the shop so call us or stop by and we will get you what you need!
On Saturday afternoon, I have scheduled another of our ever popular Jelly Roll Race classes. We had three of these last year, and they were super popular. We have had a request for a class, so we put it on the schedule. The class will be from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. You need a jelly roll and all your usual sewing equipment for this class. The cost of the class is $25 per person. We do have some jelly rolls available at the shop for $34.95 (including the new Pheasant Hill Collection by Kansas Trouble Quilters). This quilt is super easy and can be pieced in one day....what a great option when you need that quick baby shower gift, birthday gift, wedding present or just because.....come join us for what has been a popular and fun class.
June 8th - we have our second handbag class scheduled - the pattern is called the "Steel Ball" Bag, and can be made in one day....it comes in two sizes and you can choose the size you wish to make. The handles for these bags are metal and will need to be purchased for this class. The handles come in three colors, polished silver, antique silver and antique bronze. I have been using my bag now for about 9 months, and I absolutely love it. It is amazing the amount of space in these, so don't be fooled by their "small" look...
The cost of the class is $25 per person....I will post the cost of the materials as soon as I can (I don't want to quote a price for the handles and then be wrong :)). I will post the pictures in the next couple of days as well...
June 22nd - Machine Applique Class will be this day from 9:00 a.m. til 11:30ish p.m. We will be making a Sunbonnet Sue / Overall Sam wall hanging. The cost of the class is $25 per person. We will have some Sunbonnet Sue / Overall Sam precut using our AccuQuilt cutting die for you to purchase for this class. You will need six cut outs, a background fabric and some sashing / border fabric and your wallhanging will be complete. This class works very well for sewing machines that have either the blanket stitch or the zig zag stitch. This is a great class for our Block of the Month ladies who either have never done machine applique or want a brush up class before we do the two applique blocks for our Block of the Month Quilt.
June 29th - This is our Block of the Month morning for the ladies doing our Block of the Month quilt. Stop by, pick up your next month's block and let us know if we can do anything more to be of service to you....
A REMINDER....our class for this Saturday, May 18th only has one person definitively signed up. We need at least two more for the class to proceed. This bag is really a very versatile bag and was the first bag I made. If you are interested in taking the class, you need to call the store at (931) 682-3746 or email us at thequiltingframe@gmail.com and let us know. If we don't have three people, we will have to cancel the class. Pictures of this bag are posted in prior blog posts, if you wish to see one. The one I made for Sandra is on display at the shop....come and join us four our first ever bag class if you can....
Everyone have a great rest of your week and keep enjoying that sunshine!

Upcoming Classes
Afternoon Everyone!
I just wanted to post a quick reminder about the upcoming classes over the next three weeks. On Saturday, May 11th from 9:00 a.m. til 11:30ish, we will be having the Five and Dime quilt class. This quilt is quick and easy to make and is easy to size up or down depending on your needs. It would look good in many different patterns, 30's, children's, florals, the possibilities are endless. The cost of the class is $25 per person. You have to purchase the book, "Loose Change" by Lynn Hagemier of Kansas Trouble Quilters ($19.95) and you will need the ruler set ($19.95 includes the rulers for the layer cake and the charm square). I have layer cakes, charm square, mini-charms and jelly rolls from Kansas Troubles, "Pheasant Hill". The layer cakes and jelly rolls are $34.95 each and the charm squares are $8.50 a package. The mini-charm squares are $4.25 a package. I am holding all these until we see how many people will want to use them for the class. The quilt I made is on display at the shop, and there are pictures of the quilt top on my next to the last post. I have three ladies already signed up for the class, and have room for two more.
On Saturday, May 18th from 9:00 a.m. til 1:00 p.m. (ish), we will be having our first bag class at the shop. Due to multiple inquiries we have received from clients, we are going to try to have a few classes in bag construction this year. The first bag we are going to do is from the pattern, "BYOB II" by Whistlepig Creek. This bag can be made in two sizes (please see my next to the last post for pictures). The cost of this class is $25 per person and the cost of the kit to make the bag (which includes the pattern) is $44.50 + tax. Due to the intricacies of making a bag, it will be easier if I do the kits and go ahead and iron on the fusible fleece prior to class, otherwise, it will be an 8 hour class instead of a 4-5 hour class. We only have one lady signed up for this class and we need a minimum of three or the class will be cancelled. If you are interested in signing up or have any questions, please call the shop at (931) 682-3746 or email us at thequiltingframe@gmail.com. The deadline to sign up prior to the class being cancelled is Wednesday, May15th. This was the first bag I ever made and once you know the process, the possibilities are endless.
Everyone have a safe weekend and try to stay dry...we'll see you soon
