Classes & Workshops
by Elsie Vredenburg

I expect that all students will be able to use a sewing machine and rotary cutter.  I consider this basic to all my classes and call this level “Beginner"

 Some classes have an additional pattern or materials fee.  A supply list will be provide for each class when it is scheduled.


White Shoal   Level:  Beginner & up     3 hours
Freezer paper piecing is a unique method using freezer paper to make single-use templates which are left on the fabric to stabilize it and give guidance in constructing this “puzzle-like” pictorial quilt, featuring the White Shoal lighthouse. (Classes available with any of my patterns.)  $10 pattern fee.

Beginning Celtic Applique by Machine    Level:  All       3 hours
Students will create a little Celtic heart block with or without fabric insets to learn how to make bias strips, arrange them in a simple Celtic design, and appliqué them by machine. 
**In some cases, may require a $12 kit fee.

Kaleidoscope        Level:  Intermediate               6 hours
Make a stunning little Kaleidoscope quilt with strip piecing and freezer paper!  You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to make this complex looking quilt.

T-Shirt Crazy Quilt by Machine            Level:  All                                 3 hours
Learn to use your machine’s decorative stitches to make a crazy quilted block which could end up as a pillow, purse, etc.  Start with the logo from a favorite T-shirt and build your block around it.

Buttonhole Stitch Applique          Level:  All                   3 hours
Use the buttonhole stitch on your machine to make your fused appliqué sing, making a coneflower block.

Invisible Machine Applique       Level:  All                     3 hours
Looks like hand appliqué.  No fusibles in this one.  Lancaster Rose block.
