Five and Dime Quilt Class

Good Morning All!

As promised, I have pictures and prices, etc., for the Five and Dime Quilt Class.  The class will be Saturday, May 11th from 9:00 a.m. til 11:30 a.m.  It is the Five and Dime Quilt by Lynn Hagemeier from Kansas Trouble Quilters.  I was lucky enough to meet Ms. Hagemeier while in Houston in October at the Quilt Market.  She had all the pieces up from her new book, Loose Change, along with the rulers she created to assist in the construction.  The cost of the class is going to be $25 plus the cost of the book and materials.  The Book is $19.95 and the two sets of rulers is $19.95.  I have the new line in from Kansas Troubles called Pheasant Hill....I used this to make the quilt for the class.  You need a layer cake and a charm pack to make the quilt pictured below.  The layer cakes are 10% off for the class at $34.95 and the charm pack will be $8.50.  We ordered three bolts of coordinating fabric for this line, two stripes and an all over floral.  The striped fabric we have are a floral with a green background as shown in the picture and the same floral with a tan background instead of green.  The book has many different patterns, all using precuts.  All of these patterns will look good with any set of precuts you have in your stash and are quick and easy patterns to construct.  We already have two ladies signed up for this class, so we have room for three more.  Please call us as soon as you know you are interested so we can be sure we have the books and rulers available for the day of the class.

The quilt pictured above was made with one layer cake and one charm pack as well as 1/2 yd for first inner border and 2-1/3 yard for the outside border (as you can tell I mitered the outside border which always takes a little extra fabric).  It finished at approximately 71 x 81.  Another really great thing about this quilt is that you can easily enlarge it to make any size you wish by adding more blocks.  The construction is very quick and easy. 

For the class, you will need the usual sewing supplies you use, as well as the materials mentioned above.  Give the shop a call at (931) 682-3746 or email us at thequiltingframe@gmail.com if you are interested in joining us for this extremely fun class. 

I am going to post more information later about the bag class we have scheduled for Saturday, May 18th.  Take care and talk to you all soon!
