things you can do with charm packs! With just a few
charm squares you can make this beautiful scattered
leaves table runner which can be made to fit any

thrown in. Old-fashioned 'charming' fun!
One Block
Wonder

quilts composed of a single repeating shape usually
cut from one fabric, and then put together in a
kaleidoscope arrangement. These quilts are
fascinating and require constant input from the
quilter, which makes for an engaging experience
until the last stitch.

A unique, monthly club
that will take you on a journey back in time as we
explore life along the Oregon Trail. 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 trail. Each month we
will be working on quilt projects from The Prairie
Women Sewing Circle pattern set designed by Pam Buda.
At each monthly gathering, you will receive a new
quilt project pattern along with tips, techniques, and
shortcuts for making the quilts. You will also
experience pioneer life in a fun way with stories,
food samples, and an old-fashioned quilting bee-type
atmosphere. Each Journey/Session runs for three
months.
Judy (Neimeyer) "Playtime"
Date: Saturday, October 13 (10-4)
Cost: $15
Certified Instructor on Hand: Carol Stanek
Have you been working on a Judy Neimeyer pattern that
you simply need some help with? Starting a new
Neimeyer pattern and not sure where to start? Sign up
soon for a fun-filled day of working on your Judy
Neimeyer projects. The best part? You will have a
certified instructor on hand to help you if you need
it. If you don't, it's a great time to work on your
project with other people working on the same type of
patterns.
Binding 101
Date: Wednesday, November 14 (1 - 4)
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.)
