APRIL Stripping on the Blvd. Class
"Japanese Stars and Lanterns"
Pattern by Carolyn Foreter
PATTERN IS PAPER PIECED............
Create a simple block that transforms itself into twinkling stars and lanterns, while also using up your
scrap strips and strings. The name of the pattern originates from the early 1900s; it's a great design for
using up lots of bits of fabric left over from other projects. You might use one fabric for the star outlines
and the border, as this will help to unify all of the other scraps. Or you can create a fun and truly
"scrappy" quilt by not worrying about this and just using scraps!
Finished Quilt Size: 76" x 76"
Pattern Sugg. Retail: $10.95
Class Date: Friday - April 13,, 2012
Time: 10am - 4pm

PENDING CLASS
Date to be Determined
Double Wedding Ring
by Quiltsmart
•NO curved piecing – clever appliqué method!
•Square blocks sew up fast!
•Beautiful Results
Two quilts made by Rosie will be on display in our classroom.
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and forget everything you know about piecing a Double Wedding Ring quilt.  But rest assured, you will wind up with essentially the same result.  You'll get there by a very different path that is faster and far less frustrating.  Through the magic of appliqué using fusible interfacing, you'll still get all those curves, but without curved piecing.
 You have a choice of making: Table Runner, Small/Baby, or Lap/Twin, 
Double Wedding Ring Classic Pack
Double Wedding Ring by M.P. "Mattie" Rhoades. Classic Pack includes illustrated instructions, 8 panels of engineered printed interfacing, a design page, and an acrylic wedge cutting template. Kit yields either one lap/twin size, or smaller-size variations (45" small/baby, 22x45" tablerunner).
Price: $35.95
Double Wedding Ring Snuggler Pack
Double Wedding Ring by M.P. "Mattie" Rhoades includes 4 panels of Double Wedding Ring printed interfacing & instructions. Kit yields either one small (45" square) size or two table runners.
Price: $25.95
Kits DO NOT INCLUDE Fabric.
Date: To be determined
Time: Saturday 9am - 4pm and Sunday - 9am - 4pm
Instructor: Rosie Gonzalez
Fee: $20.00 plus cost of Kit (Kit does not include fabric)
Supply list and kit will be issued at time of registration.
