Join Lorelai Kuecker, the 16-year-old quilter, pattern designer, author, garment maker, and fabric designer behind Pigs in a Blanket Quilting. During this 1- hour trunk show you’ll learn how this artist began her quilting journey at just 12 years of age, tackling new projects at electric speed and pushing the boundaries of conventional quilting with her custom couture garments. Using images of her work, Lorelai will share some of the lessons already learned, many of her successes, and a few glimpses into the surprises that lie ahead. At the end, there will be time for a show and tell of her most popular pieces along with a question-and-answer session.

This is a techniques class to master the skills to bind your quilts with a little flare with perfection! In class you will learn the Faux or flanged binding, machine binding and the ?” miniature binding. Many samples will be discussed about other types of additional features like piping, ric-rack, scalloped, etc., to create just the flare you want. Be sure to join me for some great fun as we explore the finishing touch of bindings! If students have a project that is ready for binding, they are encouraged to bring it to class to discuss their options.

It's Early Release Day for ACSD! Sign your kiddo up for a really fun class to learn how to make fabric yo-yos. These age-old fabric manipulations are fun to make and can be used to embellish clothing or home decor. We love them to string them together for garland or hang for ornaments. All supplies are provided for this class and kids will go home with a yo-yo maker template, fabric, a needle, and all the skills to continue making yo-yos at home!
