This is a fascinating technique that Peggy Orlofske took a class on at Houston the fall and LOVED! We liked the cheerful line of fabric she used in the class so much that we bought it for the kits. The book is by Penny Haren. Cost of the kits and instruction per month is $10. Cost of instruction only is $60 for the year. We will have extra kits, so you can get the kits and join us at any time. Sampler Magic: We have a beautiful "Mail out" or "Sit and Sew" Sampler Magic Quilt lead by Anna Stracener. Or, better yet, save postage and stop by and pick it up. It is a beautiful quilt and we are making it up using several of the fabrics in the "Cider Mill Road" collection by Nancy Halverson for Benartex. Several sections are pictured above. Start this any time you want. Then for 12 months you will get one section or part of a border each month. Victory Quilt: This includes instruction on basic blocks and moves on to more advanced ones. We are also including interesting notes on the women who kept the country together during WWII. The book is by Eleanor Burns and we have selected 12 blocks with a variety of techniques. We will give you many ideas on other projects with the blocks too. The fabric for the kits is period fabric. This class is held the 4th Saturday of the month from 9:00 - 10:30. Kits will be available for $10 and includes instruction. You may also pick your own fabric and pay $60 for the year for the instruction. Taught by Gloria Stehley and Elaine Mason.
