Prairie Women's Sewing Circle - Journey 2

Dates (Select Either MORNING (10-12) or AFTERNOON (2-4) Session): Tuesday, September 24, October 22, November 26, and December 17 (Next Quarter Dates Will Be 4th Tuesday of Each Month)

Cost: $37.50 Per Session (Choose from One of the Time Slots Above)

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 4^th 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

Instructor: Muriel Pfaff

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.)
