​July 16, 23, 30, and Aug 27 - Basic Beginning Quilt Class with Brenda from 9-noon at the Fruitdale Grange

This basic beginning quilt class is geared to new quilters. This class will include information about fabric (value and contrast), how to accurately measure and cut using quilter’s rulers, rotary cutter, and mat board. New quilters will learn about piecing with a 1/4” seam allowance and pressing seams/fabric. 
We will be making a Churn Dash Wall hanging Top (24.5 x 24.5) that includes the Churn Dash Block and Rail Sashing/Border. Also covered is quilting, binding, putting on a sleeve and label. This class is intended to be a prerequisite to the Beginning Sampler Class which will follow if there is enough interest.

​August 3 - Flange Binding Class with Cheryl 1:00 - 3:00 at the Fruitdale Grange

Cheryl will be teaching "Flange Binding" using a bi-level foot on her sewing machine. 
 Flange binding is an additional narrow strip of fabric between the quilt and its binding for an extra pop or color and texture. Nifty!
