Katie Pasquini Masopust

From Watercolor to Quilt Class 405

Friday, Saturday, Sunday October 3, 4, 5

9:30am - 4:30pm $150 + tax

Abstract watercolor paintings will be created the first day using 10 different painting techniques that will leave the student with several paintings to work from. Techniques include: transparent layered shapes, tape resists, rubber cement drawing resist, washes, glazing, dropping in of colors, surface treatments using soap bubbles, rubbing alcohol and grids, etc. One painting will be chosen and cropped to find the most dynamic part. This will be drawn to make templates, then enlarged, and translated with fabrics into a quilt using either my turned edge technique or the students preferred technique. When the quilt is done it will look like a watercolor painting.

No painting experience is needed.

Vickie Haskins became an employee of Ann Silva’s Sewing Center in 2007 to teach Mastery Classes. A week after she started Virginia Keys the Handi Quilter instructor decided to move to Montana. Vickie was “promoted” to Handi Quilter instructor instantly. She expanded the long-arm classes from just the “How to Use This New Machine” to cover a wide variety of topics. She boasts she can teach anyone to draw feathers and “if you can draw it, you can sew it.” In February, the New Mexico Museum of Natural History opened a new permanent exhibit, The Hall of Stars, featuring work done by Vickie on her Handi Quilter using the Art and Stitch software. It is an interactive exhibit displaying the night sky as seen in New Mexico. This exhibit won a national award for interactive exhibits in museums in May.

In July, Vickie became the twenty-first Certified Art and Stitch instructor in the world. This software is for computerized long-arm and embroidery machines. Vickie teaches Handi Quilter (long-arm quilting), Pro-Stitcher (computerized long-arm) and Art and Stitch classes at our store. In addition, she creates digital quilting designs and does custom quilting. 221. Art & Stitch - Quilting Wide Open Spaces Each Session: $20 + tax Tuesdays, 6 - 8:30 pm (A) September 9 (B) October 28 (C) November 25 We will be using the wonderful designs in Judi Madsen’s book as a jumping off point to digitize this quilt. This class is for Art and Stitch owners. Students must have Version 3 installed on their own computers. The demo version will not save the designs. Students must have book by Judi Madsen prior to the class to avoid copyright issues. QUILTING WIDE OPEN SPACES by Judi Madsen will be the basis for the block of the month. The quilt design that will be used is "In the Meadow" beginning on page 97. If you desire to take this class and do this project, please call and order the book now from the store. Open House is only a few days before our class. 222. PRO STITCHER Each Session: $20 + tax Thursdays, 6 - 8:30 pm (A) October 23 Let’s Learn to Make Borders.

Sew-A-Palooza Class 302

A Bernina Sewing Festival A two day event where sewing enthusiasts

will gather to sew, have fun, learn and be inspired.

Friday & Saturday October 17 & 18

9:00 - 4:00 with lunch break

Cost – one day $59.00, two days $99.00 Sign up for the two day event by Sept. 17 and pay only $89.00

This two day event will cover 4 sets.

In each set, fans will make a simple project where they explore specific and exclusive features of Bernina products.

There will be two students to a machine and each person will finish one project per day.

Day 1 – Experience embroidery using a jumbo hoop on a Bernina 750, 780, or 880 machine. Later that day, you will learn about some of the features of the Bernina Software 7 and the monogram possibilities. Day 2 – Learn about Bernina presser feet and other attachments. See how the different presser feet give finished projects a very professional look.

Later that day, you will learn machine quilting tips and tricks while making a quick project. The Bernina Stitch Regulator, dual feed & the walking foot will be the focus. Christine Gist – an educator from the Bernina of America event team will be the instructor. Christine lives in Tucson Arizona, where she continues to teach and create at the local Bernina dealership. She says, “ the best part of my job is helping people turn their ideas into reality. It’s an invigorating process that I get to share with new people every day.”
