Join the sewing fun at Diana's Quilts-n-Things! My quilting groups are friendly gatherings where you can concentrate, share, work, and learn. My store has special equipment and work space for quilters to use, and lots of materials and patterns. Come on in to work on your projects - where everything you need is at hand, including new techniques and experienced advice. PREPARATIONS: If a club or class member is bringing a guest, or if you want to attend a single session, or if you are a class subscriber and want to switch Saturdays, please contact Diana beforehand. 1st Saturday of each month in 2017 is Sew Saturday sewing quilts for charity - all hands are welcome, no fee, potluck. It does help if you let me know you are planning to attend. Fabric donations are welcome! My Imagine That Club is an annual challenge. Each Imagine That Club participant receives a free fat quarter of a select fabric to inspire a project, and then works at home to create whatever they imagine from it. An Imagine That project can be a quilt, a wall hanging, or whatever someone wants to make. There is just one limitation: "NO potholders, please." Use your Imagination! Your project can be any size and may include other fabrics as you like, but it must include at least part of the fat quarter. (Small pieces count.) In August or September all the participants will get together for an Unveiling Party with food and prizes. $5 participation fee, open to anyone. If you have questions on any of these, please give me a call. (406-632-4861) |
Saturday classes are all day classes starting at 9:30 a.m. and running until 4:30 p.m. |
|
Beginning Quilting: Learn the basics with an easy pattern. This Saturday class runs all day, starting at 9:30 a.m. |
Disappearing Nine Patch: Eyes are fooled by this clever Nine Patch technique. Example quilts on this website are this pink one, this one with fish, #6-1034, and #6-1204. This Saturday class runs all day, starting at 9:30 a.m. |
Stack n' Whack: With the fun Stack and Whack technique, every block is different. Example quilts on this website are #6-955, #6-912, #6-989, this red, black, and white one, and this pink, blue, and yellow one. This class will be covered on two Saturdays. The second Saturday's date and activities will be determined by what works for the students in the class. The class runs all day, starting at 9:30 a.m. |
One Block Wonder: A One Block Wonder quilt is based on 6 layers of fabric with a 24 inch repeat. Quilt pieces are cut with a similar technique to those of a Stack and Whack quilt, but the blocks are sewn together differently. An example quilt on this website is #6-1052. This class may be covered on two Saturdays. If needed, the second Saturday's date and activities will be determined by what works for the students in the class. The class runs all day, starting at 9:30 a.m. |
Needle Turn Applique: Needle turn applique is a hand applique technique. Learn needle turn applique with a small project that can be turned into a pillow, table center, or quilt section. An example quilt on this website is #6-489. Needle Turn Applique is an all-day Saturday class, starting at 9:30 a.m. |
Raw Edge Applique: Students in my Raw Edge Applique class make a wall hanging, using a McKenna Ryan pattern. An example on this website is #6-878. This Saturday class runs all day, starting at 9:30 a.m. |
Rag Quilt: Rag quilts are comforting classics. Example quilts on this website are #6-1024, #6-927, and #6-917. This Saturday class runs all day, starting at 9:30 a.m. |
Table Runners: Table runners are a fun way to complete a small quilt project. A variety of patterns are available at my store. Examples on this website are #6-865, #6-695, #6-915, and #6-837. This Saturday activity runs all day, starting at 9:30 a.m. |
Monday Club projects: |
Block Of The Month Club: In 2010, we tackled "The Farmer's Wife", a spectacular quilt made with six inch blocks. See a better picture here. Block of the Month was first offered on Monday nights in 2010, was back by popular demand in 2012 - again in 2013 - and again in 2014. |
GoGo Club: Come in and play with the GO! Cutter and dies. Quilts on this website made with the GO! Cutter are the Bugs quilt #6-1066, this geometric quilt #6-1067, and the rag quilt #6-1024. GoGo Club was a Monday night club in 2010. |
Progressive Quilt: There is no pattern for the progressive quilt - each person creates a quilt center from good quality 100% cotton fabric, and passes the started quilt on to another group member, who adds the next section, and so on. When a quilt has been completed, with care from everyone in the group, it returns to the person who started it to keep. There's a better picture of this quilt in the Gallery. The Progressive Quilt was a Monday night club in 2011. |
