This QC Club, Carla is launching a special project that will continue through the end of 2026. As we celebrate our Semiquincentennial, we’re connecting with our ancestors by exploring techniques used by generations before us—only this particular project will show us how to use these ago-old techniques on today’s modern machines. Join us throughout the remainder of the SemiQ as we learn, create, and build this project together over the coming year! This Saturday we will be showcasing different types of pintucking and embellishment with ribbons.

Spend two days learning some great bag making skills as while assembling this fun, medium size quilted backpack. All materials and supplies are included in this class!

March Session - Quilting On The Edge When you want precision and control in your quilting, a ruler is your best friend. Learn the fundamentals of straight-edge ruler quilting and how to transform simple lines into stunning designs.

Even if you don't plan to incorporate hand quilting into your regular sewing practice it will open your eyes to see and feel the process that was used by our ancestors to make quilts. Recently, this technique (a rocking stitch in a flat frame) has been added to the Red List of Endangered Crafts by the Heritage Crafts Association. As this skill continues to drop out of circulation you will be doing a small part of keeping this skill alive just by having some knowledge of the history and process. While the thought of hand quilting is daunting to some, once the simple technique is mastered, it's quite relaxing, and when performed properly, is not taxing for most hands. In the class you will learn how the right tools (fabric, batting, needles, thread, thimbles and quilting hoops/frames) all contribute to small even stitches.
