PQW News August 4, 2017 Edition

Every quilter’s dream is to spend an uninterrupted day devoted just to quilting, and we’ve devised a way to give you just that. Our Day at the Quilting Spa has become a perennial favorite and it is back this year with another new mystery quilt from Debbie Caffrey.

Envision a day when you set up your work area and begin to sew. Before long someone offers you coffee, or maybe tea. At noon, enjoy your own bag lunch while you take a break and chat with some friends, whether old or new.

Back to work, but who wants to face ripping out that mistake? Don’t worry, we’ll have it all fixed for you. Light refreshments are ready in the afternoon,

and by the time you’re ready to leave you’ll be well on your way to a finished quilt top.

The best part? Purchase your fabrics for the quilt at Pennington Quilt Works, and your Day at the Quilting Spa is free!! The pattern, snacks, drinks, and any help you need is on us.

When you register for the Spa, you’ll be given a supply list and some preparation instructions. Bring everything on your spa day and we’ll provide the rest of the directions, step by step, at the pace you’d like. Stay as long as you’d like.

Register now for Friday September 1; 10 am–5 pm, OR Sunday, September 17; 9 am–4 pm, OR Friday, September 22; 10 am–5 pm

No Guilt Quilt

This is a “No Guilt Quilt”. All you need

to make the blocks for this quilt is one

jelly roll and 1-1/2 yards of back-

ground fabric. Very little fabric

remains. There is no waste. It is a

very traditional quilt, but the

scrappiness makes it uniquely yours.

This quilt is simple, scrappy and

stunning. The piano key border

perfectly complements the diversity of

the fabric in the quilt blocks. This is an

advanced beginner class

Cartwheels Paper Piecing

Ready to turn some cartwheels? Paper

piecing is an easy way to use your

sewing machine to create blocks with

unusual patterns and images that can’t

be easily achieved with traditional

piecing methods. Using the Cartwheels

pattern we will practice the method

with smaller units that are joined to

make a whole block. This is a

technique-only class—you may work

on the pillow front, the quilt itself or

just use some fabric to practice the

skill. Note: This is not a class for English

paper piecing (EPP), which is done

totally by hand.

Required: pattern

Fee: $27

your favorite print.

T-Shirt Quilt

Gather your old t-shirts and use them

to make a memory quilt, adapting the

pattern to meet your needs and t-

shirts. We will discuss several design

options, learn to prepare the blocks

and begin to put them together. We

will also consider photo printing on

fabric as a possibility for inclusion in

future quilts. This is a design and

technique class only, so we will not

complete the quilt in class.

knowledge of quilt construction are

required for this class

Or think bright fabrics or pastel

skill building block.

the class.

to fill the void. Let’s say that a class you're interested in requires rotary skills, and

you’re still snipping along with scissors. Well a 1-hour private class will bring you

up to speed. Or say that you really want to get the hang of paper-piecing or some

other skill. Or maybe our classes just don’t fit in your schedule. Talk to any one of

us and we’ll find you the right person at the right time to teach you what you

need to know.
