Scallop Border Magic
Scallop Borders add an instant “va-va-voom” factor to any quilt! Using the Creative Grids Scallop Template takes all the math and guesswork out of creating these amazing borders on any size quilt, with any size border. In this class, you will learn to use the template and mark one of your own quilts for scallop borders. You will also make the bias binding needed for the quilt. If you don’t have a quilt top ready for this, you can still learn the technique by simply adding borders to a panel before class. (Information on how to do that is provided on the Supply List)
**You will be learning this technique on one of your UNQUILTED quilt tops that has the border already attached. This tool will work well to create scallops on borders ranging in size from 2” - 12”.

Stanton Hoodie SERGER Along
General Class Description:
In this class, we will be working together and serging together to create this stylish and cozy hoodie. This pattern is custom-fitted to your body, with cup sizes from C-H! If you have a larger chest or hips, hoodies often end up uncomfortably tight or sloppy and oversized, but Cahsmerette patterns are designed for curves to give you an amazing fit at the bustline AND at the rest of your body.
Although the Stanton pattern features a pullover and a zip-up version, in this class we will be making the PULLOVER.
You will be amazed at how fun and easy this hoodie is to make. We will be using our sergers exclusively for construction and you will be guided step by step in the process.

Color Confidence Workshop
Kick your color mojo into gear! This class is one in which we will explore color, fabric, and piecing techniques, so it will be a combination of exploration and play. Students will gain a deeper understanding of contrast and value, identify color inspiration in the world around them, and how to use technology to help plan and make their quilts.
Join artist and quilter Gerald Schwab as he guides you through the principles of color theory and how to apply that knowledge to quilting. Gerald will share his tips and techniques for pulling colors from different sources, such as fabrics, nature, and everyday objects to create harmonious color palettes that bring visual interest to quilts. The class will also focus on developing individual color styles, helping students to explore their own color preferences, and creating quilts that reflect their personal taste and style. There will be a variety of project options on which to work while learning about color, including a project that you choose to bring from home. (See the supply list for more information.)
