Color Me Happy - Feb 27, 2020 05:30 pm
Color Me Happy is geared towards new quilters and those who simply want to have fun with fabrics and make a great quilt. We start with very simple blocks and learn new techniques during the year. This is a 13 month program. 5" squares will be provided at each demo but you are free to choose your own fabrics for the actual quilt. You'll be learning to make the BLOCKS here. A suggestion for finishing is available and you can select what size you'd like to make.
Cost: $ 20.00

About those Tornado Victim Quilts (6-25-13) (pictured below is Lisa Conway - who learned to use the Gammill while helping with these quilts!
We've finished 2 weeks making quilt tops, quilting those and quilting the half-dozen tops that were donated by the Brenham, TX, guild President. Fabric has been donated, some for tops and lots that were used as backings, and MODA graciously donated batting. We've had a dozen quilts that were completed that we shipped to McCloud, OK Emmanuel Baptist Church. They agreed to distribute as needed. Thanks to all who helped!

Wouldn't you like to be in charge of your creation from Start to Finish? Creating the quilt tops is certainly fun and rewarding. And of course we love to quilt your tops for you! There nothing, though, like making that top AND doing the quilting all yourself. These days, creating something start to finish is just right for that immediate reward so make it your own ! You'll love that tactile feeling as you pet your quilt after each pass. You'll see it come to life- the 3rd dimension added as you go. You'll fall even more in love with quilting when you learn to do it yourself! AT your first lesson, you'll learn to how to load the backing, batting & top. You'll learn to follow pantographs creating an edge-to-edge design. You'll do some freehanding to get the feel of the machine. It takes a little practice to learn to dance with the machine for easy curves and flowing ideas across the quilt top. For this type lesson, I will provide muslin, batting, thread and instruction. The fee is $100 and the class usually takes 3 to 4 hours. This is private instruction so we'll need to coordinate when you can come with when I can be available.
When you've successfully completed the class, you may rent the Gammill machine to quilt your own tops when it is available. Again, some calendar coordination is required. The rate for rental is $35 per hour, minimum 2 hours. I will provide thread.
