This class is for the quilter who is new to machine quilting or is confident with some things and would like a little guidance! With Kristin’s individualized attention to each student, this class is for everyone from beginner to those who want to brush up or refine their machine quilting skills.

In this class we will take you through the various stages of creating a cathedral window quilt - from building the base blocks, to assembling the star field and stripes, then on to final assembly. The flag quilt is built in three sections: the blue star field, four rows of top stripes, and three rows of lower stripes. Once this is done you will have a completed project with no batting, no backing, and no long-arm quilting required! CLASS DATE: 2 Part Class: Saturdays, June 1 and June 22 Time: 10 am to 3:30 pm Instructor: Kim Meyer Class Fee: $40 Pattern required. ****************** FARM FEST 2019 July 19 & 20, 2019 We are continuing with the new Farm Fest format this year.

The shop has been featured in Better Homes & Gardens Quilt Sampler magazine and Jill’s patterns highlighted in several Primitive Quilts & Projects magazines.
