One Block Wonders
One-block wonders are fabrics that are cut in layers so that they kaleidoscope as hexagons. The first night, we'll cut out the fabric and talk about how to sew the hexagons. The second night, we'll look at final layouts before you sew them down. Wednesdays, Oct. 13 and Dec. 8. $38. Supplies: Talk to Cynthia before the class. You?ll need a large-scale print; buy 6 repeats of it. You?ll need a Creative Grids 60-degree triangle ruler. You?ll need flat-head flower pins. And you?ll need basic sewing supplies. Some flannel or batting is highly recommended to "stick" your pieces down and create the layout.

Quilting 101 Placemats
Let's get started quilting. You'll make one placemat in class, and you'll learn all kinds of cool things, such as matching at the corners, cutting safely, picking fabrics, quilting, binding, and of course, the famous scant quarter-inch seam (whatever that is!). Cost: $42 plus supplies. Supplies: You'll need a machine in good working order. You'll also need the pattern and all the fixin's! Make an appointment to stop by at least a few days before the class begins so we can help you pick out your fabric and notions. We suggest our Creative Grids rulers, which are easy to use with a non-slip grip and visible markings; our Creative Grids mats, which are the best cutting mats in the whole wide world; and our Olfa rotary cutters, which are sturdy, safe, and easy to use. Good tools and fabrics really do matter--they increase happiness and keep frustration low! Oct. 11, 20, and Nov. 1, from 6-8 PM on Zoom.
