(approximately 48" X 66"). The
series does not include a binding
class.
For those of you who love to read,
this is the perfect quilt
class! Read a fun book, discuss
women’s issues (aka a quilter’s
therapy session), and make a quilt –
this club has it all! We will be
reading a charming series of books
by Jennifer Chiaverini (only one
book each 4-month session) about
friendships and maybe some new
things about quilting. In September,
we begin the first book in the
series, “The Quilter’s Apprentice”
and I know you will love the main
characters in this book! In addition
to a book discussion, we’ll be
making a quilt each session to go
along with the book. The first quilt
we’ll be making is a Sampler Quilt
just like the book’s main
character. Sign up today so you
won’t miss any of the fun as we
start this new book in a fun
series! Note:
You can purchase the Elm Creek
Quilts book, The
Quilter's Apprentice by
Jennifer Chiaverini through Amazon.
You will need this book for the Book
Club.

Be 4th Tuesday of Each Month)

Instructor: Muriel Pfaff
We are excited to continue this club
with Journey 2. It is a nine-month
Journey, payable in three quarterly
installments, and throughout the
year we will be working on the
projects pictured above plus an
additional fun project or two. Group
meets on the 4th Tuesday
of every month – sign up for either
the morning group or the afternoon
group.
You are invited to join a unique
monthly club that will take you on a
journey back in time. Gather
together as the "Prairie Women" did,
and hear anecdotal stories about
their quilt making, and what daily
life was like for those who traveled
by wagon train on the Oregon Trail,
to the lives of quilter’s during the
Civil War, and the years of women’s
suffrage for equal rights. Not only
will you learn how our quilting
ancestors created quilts by
“Making-Do” with what they had, you
will be invited to do so yourself!
At each monthly gathering of the
Prairie Women’s Sewing Circle, you
will receive a small reproduction
quilt project pattern that will
allow you the option to share in the
unique “Make-Do” quilting experience
with fellow club members. Monthly
patterns and other surprises will be
offered exclusively to club members
only!
Binding 101
Date: Saturday, October 5 (10 - 1)
Cost: $35

Learn the technique of bias
double-fold binding with crisp
corners and machine or hand
finishes, all while making a cute
"Three Pocket Purse". Class will
also include a discussion of other
binding techniques such as mock
bindings and "pillow turn" bindings.
Rather than working on a quilt,
students will work on attaching bias
binding to an 18" square of
pre-quilted fabric. This will ensure
that everyone completes turning four
corners and finishes off the
ends. (Kit fabric may vary from
photo below.)
