Hello Friends of the QuiltBug!

Benartex fabrics will be in the shop all day takig abou their Batik line, Kathryn Greenwold will be here appraising quilts, and other fun happenings will take place throughout the day! Stop in and celebrate with us!
The QuiltBug is looking for about 5 good, basic, used sewing machines. We'll donate them to a local Senior community that Ann will be visiting weekly in the fall. If you have one that works and is just in need of a tune up, we'd love to have it. This will allow some Seniors to get back to sewing, but more importanly bring them together to socialize with friends over a common hobby. Thanks for your help:)

Upcoming Classes and Events
This course is designed to take the beginning quilter from accurate measuring and rotary cutting to piecing of a simple quilt in approximately 12 sessions. Projects have been selected which teach various sewing techniques necessary for quilting. Weekday classes are $10 each and will meet every Wednesday morning.
This class is designed to teach an advanced beginner basic quilting blocks and techniques. It will build on the lessons taught and patterns used in the Basic Beginners class. Approximately 4 weeks will be devoted to each block. The first technique will be strip piecing which will be practiced in the Nine Patch block and a quick pinwheel design. Half Square Triangles, Log Cabin, and Flying Geese are among the quilt blocks taught along with appropriate projects that use the block being taught. Class members can always request that a project or quilt block be taught.
