Sew Little Time Quilting Workshops

Classes and Workshops Available
	LOOK WHAT'S NEW.... SHENANIGANS - Three sizes available Use a focus fabric and cut out motifs, or straight cut your center blocks, then use two color ways to make your triple Irish chains. It's a great look to an old favorite. A one-day class will get you started!
	LOOK WHAT ELSE IS NEW...TRANQUALITY For that fabric that you just can't cut!!! Tranquality is for those special fabrics that you just can't cut! You may have seen a similar version by Colleen in Asian Fabric magazine called the Zen Quilt. For the Tranquility version you use 1 1/2 to 2 yards of fabric for the center piece. It's a great class to learn about using bias edges successfully! A one-day class.
	Bodacious Quilts - featuring Rock, Paper, Scissors This fun, fast, and easy class offers a specific quilt or unlimited possibilities for layouts and design, whatever fits the students' wants and needs. For a specific project, such as Rock, Paper, Scissors a full-day (6 hour) class will work. For unlimited possibilities more days are better, such as a retreat. Book recommended but not required.

Please note: for all the sweatshirt jacket patterns I recommend cotton/poly sweatshirts that are purchased in the Men's Department as they have added sleeve length and width to accommodate the extra seams. Women's sweatshirts never seem to fit properly after reassembly and the sleeves always end up too short. For the Kid's jacket, I purchase the sweatshirt in the Boy's Department. I do not recommend the pigma died 100% cotton sweatshirts, they just never seem to work out.
	Elaine's Jacket - Use bargello strip piecing techniques, an easy machine quilting design, a sweatshirt, and a lot of time to make this project. This should be a two-day class (6 hours per), a quilt till you drop day, or a retreat project!
	Kelsey's Whole Cloth Jacket - Combine that wonderful fabric that you couldn't live without, with a sweatshirt and some machine quilting, and you get a fun, fast, easy, and unique jacket. This can be an all-day class (6 hours) or two 4-hour sessions. A good project to begin or broaden machine quilting techniques.
	Kid's Kick About Jacket - similiar to Kelsey's Whole Cloth Jacket but pint size. Combine some fun novelty fabric, a sweatshirt, and somemachine quilting, and you get a fun, fast, and easy unique jacket. Let your favorite child participate in the fabric selection. An easy 6-hour project. Great for beginning machine quilters.
	April's Trip Around the World - Combines a trip around the world design, quick piecing techniques (uses quilt fuse), some easy machine quilting, and a sweatshirt; and you get a delightful new jacket to call your own. This should be a two-day class (6 hours per, one day to get started, the next to finish up).
	Bogan's Double Trip Around the World Jacket - Combines eleven fabrics and fusible grid to create the double trip design, add some easy machine quilting, and a sweatshirt to achieve a one of a kind jacket. This should be a two-day class (6 hours per, one day to get started and one to finish up).
	Strips & Squares On-Point - (Black, White, and Red all over) A fast and easy quilt top that uses half and quarter square setting triangles to set the blocks on point. This can be a one-day class (6 hours) but is actually better broken into two - 4 hour sessions. Three sizes available. Great for beginners!
	Sporty and Friends - A delightful quilt top that uses two simple blocks and incorporates the border fabric into the center of the star blocks. Learn to fussy cut designs for star centers using freezer paper templates. A successful one-day class.

	Carpenter's Square - Four designs and sizes to choose from; The Apprentice is the easiest with only two rails and optional borders; the Journeyman is the most difficult as it has three rails and is a rectangle rather than a square; the Master adds a three rail border to enhance the basic design; and more like the traditional design the Carpenter Design is like the Master version but without the extra borders.. A one-day (6 hour) class will get you started, a two-day class or retreat will allow enough time for some to begin the assembly process.
Aprentice 50":x50"	Journeyman 83" x 91"	Master 92" x 92"	Carpenter 70" x 70"
	Two Three-Dimensional Designs are available - If Al-Can You Can is the easiest that a beginner can complete, available in four sizes. Playing with Jax uses triangles to create the "Jacks", available in two sizes. Both use easy fabric folding techniques to make the 3-D blocks. Techniques can be learned in a one-day (6-hour) class.

	Zen Quilt - For that "just can't cut it" fabric. Use 1 1/2 yds focus fabric to make this striking wall hanging.
