Classes for 2012:

January 5, 6:30pm. Toasty Toe Warmers
If you enjoyed Sharons “Potato Baker Bag” class then you will love this class. Sharon has agreed to show us how to make this great January project.
We will supply the instructions and filler material - all you need to bring is 1/2 yard of fabric (no quilting cottons, bring a duck cloth or heavy deco fabric) and 100% cotton sewing thread, your machine and basic sewing supplies. The fabric should not have any nylon or synthetic content - it should also be 100% cotton. JoAnn Fabrics has a nice selection, but if you have some extra from your stash, bring that along to share with your guild members. 
So join us in January to keep your sewing machines going and your toes toasty warm!! Fat Quarter Drawing Winter Wonderland (snowflakes, snowmen/women, blues, whites, winter whites, etc)

Bring a friend, your sewing machine and basic sewing supplies. All the fabric and know-how will be waiting for you at the meeting!  Don’t forget a sack lunch!

February 2, 6:30pmTurn any bottle or jar into a great vase just in time for Valentines Day.  In class we will make the cover using reds and pinks (or any color) to cover a small bottle or jar.  Then embellish with yarn, beads and buttons.  For class bring a mix of fabric strips (about 24 that are any width by 12” long) a solid piece of fabric about 10” x 14” (this will be the inside fabric), thread to match and basic sewing supplies. There will be lots of embellishments provided or bring some to share.  The stiff interfacing will also be provided.  Lots of samples will be there for inspiration.Fat Quarter Drawing: Love is all around (reds, pinks, white, hearts etc)
