Learn the Basics

Learn the basics of quilt making and leave with this little wall hanging (or table topper).  I will teach you how to prepare the fabric, use a rotory cutter and piece two different blocks.  Then, piece the blocks together, put on a border and you are ready for the next class!  If you are in the Kitchener area and are interested, email me at threadbare1@sympatico.ca

Well, it has taken a bit of work, but my "Learn the Basics" beginner quilting class is ready.  I can accommodate 3 students for this all day class.  There will be two classes a week, one on a weekday and the other on a Saturday.  I have scheduled the first class for Tuesday, September 20, 2011.  I will be offering many other classes this fall including "applique" and "hand quilting".  Can't wait to get started!!! 

Now that I have plenty of room in my new studio, I'm looking forward to teaching new quilters!  I have many classes planned including beginner classes, intermediate classes including applique by hand and machine, landscape quilts and will also teach the time honored tradition of hand quilting.   Still a little more preparing to do but should be ready by September.

Let's Eat!

I love to make things for around the house and when I saw this pattern for placemats in a quilt magazine, I just had to make them.  I made the table runner a while back and choose the same fabrics for the placements. 

Welcome to my Blog

Are you a quilt maniac or quiltaholic like me?  My name is Susan and I've been quilting almost 20 years!  I'm really excited about having my own blog and connecting with other quilters.  I'm still fairly new at this blogging thing so forgive me if things don't look exactly right.  Till next time.
