Teacher Name: Pam Bice

Class Length: 3 hours

Class Fee: $65.00

Class Day/Time: Thursday, 4:00PM to 7:00PM

Class Description:

In this class the student will learn quilting basics including measuring and cutting, using rotary cutter, how to read a pattern, making half square triangles (3 methods); 1/4 inch seam allowance (how to check for accuracy); assembling blocks.

Students will cut and sew a Friendship Star block.  We will discuss variations on the block; briefly discuss color theory, show ways to use the block to make a quilt.

I will demonstrate how to do basic quilting and make the block into a  pillow. There will be leftover material, enough for 2 additional blocks if students wish to exchange blocks.

No quilting experience is necessary – basic sewing knowledge is helpful.
