Quilting
The Take Heart Quilt is a blend of techniques for one unique yet universally appealing block. The pattern features rotary cut curved templates and curved piecing as well as simple half square triangle construction. This is the perfect quilt for the beginner ready to tackle their next new technique. A simple rotation of one quilt block ensures a dramatic setting in any arrangement. We will focus on completing quilt top during class with a discussion of finishing techniques.
Cost: $ 160.00
The Dear Jane Journey continues with another series of classes specially designed to help you finish the quilt. We?ll focus on the border triangles and corner kites, and review the techniques you can use to create them. In some cases, you might use several techniques in the same triangle! If you?re not at that point yet, you can use the sessions for inspiration, support, and to answer any other technical questions you may have about sewing the rest of the blocks, or assembling your quilt. You can also join if you have a Dear Jane quilt in progress (maybe from a long time ago?) and need that extra push to get back to work. Guaranteed inspiration and lots of support! The original quilt was made by Jane Stickle in 1863 without a corresponding pattern. Brenda Papadakis, the author of the Dear Jane books brought the quilt to life by drafting the blocks and publishing the book. With the recent 25th Anniversary of the book, "Janiacs," as we call Dear Jane fanatics came out the woodwork to share their love/hate of the project and new quilters were exposed to the meticulous pattern as well. The beauty of the quilt is not only in the blocks itself but the layout and the ability to play with print and color. Join Diane on the Dear Jane journey. She has taught this project for more than 20 years and is a true Janiac. Diane will make this an enjoyable and fun process!
Cost: $ 200.00
