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
