Quilted Jacket
Mary Cannizzaro/Carolynn Young

Create a beautiful quilted jacket on top of a sweatshirt or zippered cardigan.  The sweatshirt or cardigan should be slightly oversized, as the sewing will make it a little smaller.  The color of the sweatshirt or cardigan should blend with the fabrics you use on the outside.  Finish off your new jacket with a zipper if you choose, or decide on no closure or other options.  SM

Fabric Collage Appliqué
Tamar Drucker

This class is ideal for those of you who’d love to capture an idea in a pictorial quilt using raw edge appliqué – when you want to create and time is limited, or just to work spontaneously.  Bring your favorite picture or use one of the sample pictures available in class, your inspiration, and a variety of fabrics to complete your picture.  A sewing machine is helpful to assemble your picture.  Most of the quilting itself you will complete at home. SM

Wool Appliqué 
Fran Phillips

Wool appliqué is hot!  Learn how to felt your own woolens, work with non-woven wool felt, explore threads and discuss embellishment possibilities.  You probably already know the stitches, and because there’s no edge to turn under, it works up delightfully fast.  We’ll be making a table mat (approximately 10x15”) that could easily be used as a pillow or purse front instead.  Kit is available.  H

Studio Class     
Linda Ostrander
