Monday, October 31, "Liberated Baskets"

Tuesday, November 1,"Liberated Log Cabin"
This class explores the many possibilities inherent in a liberated approach to this grand traditional pattern. Good for beginning or advanced, traditional or art quilter. Quilters will leave class with a quilt top in tow. Learn Gwen's easy as pie techniques for making knock-out quilts.
Wednesday, November 2, "Small Quilts"
Because they are quick and relatively easy to make, small quilts afford an opportunity to explore designs and patterns that quilters otherwise might not get around to making. Also, they can stand on their own as small, but rewarding quilting projects. This class will take quilters through the entire process and demonstrate just what it is about small quilts that makes them so rewarding. This class is based on traditional pieced block designs. By the end of the day, quilters should have at least one top finished and ready to be quilted.
Thursday, November 3, "Abstract Quilts in Solids"
Quilts made in strong solid colors made by the Amish were the first quilts to be viewed as art. Of late, the dazzling assortment of new prints has justifiably attracted great attention and solids have been regulated to the back burner. This class is meant to be a reminder that solids have their own distinctive characteristics which shouldn’t be overlooked by quilters intent on doing original, abstract work
All classes will be from 9 - 4 at the St. Joe Fire Department Training Center on Maplecrest Rd.
