This is a hand-pieced, hand-quilted project done over a period of eight four-hour classes from 10 to 2 every 4th Friday starting September 16. Have you considered the benefits of making a quilt by hand? transportable, precise, meditative. Join us to accomplish this perhaps daunting endeavour in the company of like-minded individuals. The pattern allows for putting together 16 different blocks of varying complexity, thereby growing our skills. We will share ideas for fabric choices and placement, learn piecing by hand, techniques in working with circles, project organization and one of many quilt-as-you-go methods. There will be homework involved in that specific blocks must be completed for the next class; this will provide the necessary momentum to complete the quilt in a timely manner.

This project uses a fun technique which finishes to become a 16 1/2" x 43 1/2" table runner. It would be equally cute as a wall hanging, with the trees all growing in the same direction. Repeating the row in different fabrics results in a lovely quilt. While we will be working on one set of four blocks we will discuss different ways to assemble it depending upon your goal.

Cute little coin purse measuring 3" x 3", perfect for little fingers to get into. Make them as gifts for everyone you know!
