Pieced Applique:  













Meeting the second Saturday of the month from 9:00 - 10:30 am.  This is a fascinating technique that Peggy Orlofske took a class on in
Houston last 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.    The pattern pictured above. Start this any time you want. You will get one kit a month for 10 months and a
finishing kit at the end.

Victory Quilt:
















This  includes instruction on basic blocks and moves on to a little more advanced blocks as the year goes on.  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.  You may also pick your own fabric if you
want. Taught by Gloria Stehley and Elaine Mason.

Sit and Sew Workshops:                                                                              
Meeting  from 9:00 - 3:00 once a month on either the third Friday or the third Saturday of the month.  We are using the book Quilts From
The Quiltmaker's Gift  choosing four quilts for the year.  We spend three months on each quilt.  Do one, or do them all.  Cost for each
three month quilt is$30.















Follow the Leader - July - September  Pick your own fabrics
       or purchase a kit and learn this interesting block.  Make
any size you want.  See what everyone else is  doing.
            You will have 3 months to work on it.

Once Upon a Star:
Nine month kit project starting in January.  We are using the McKenna Ryan Patterns.  Come in any time between 5-7 on the second
