Bonus: learn to join the ends for a beautiful finish. You will complete samples of each technique and bring home a "Binder of Bindings" for easy future reference. This class is perfect for the beginner, but offers abundant tips for the experienced quilter as well.

You can piece this beautiful 35” block in one day! Choose a color palette, pre-cut your strips and come ready to sew for a quick and not too challenging design. The eight star points are 9 patch units quick-pieced with strips. Your ruler and rotary cutter do all the work. While this is not recommended for absolute beginners, if you are comfortable with your sewing machine and can get a consistent ¼” seam, this class is very doable. I teach two different methods for setting the corner squares and triangles - one uses set-in seams, the other splits them for ease of construction. Lots of tips and sewing techniques are learned!

We’ll talk about What, Where, and How to paint on your quilt to add details, visual depth and dimension.  If you don’t have a pictorial quilt come anyway!  Annette will demonstrate her “controlled hand-painting” technique and you’ll get a little hands-on experimentation with the paint.  You will not paint on your quilt in class but will practice on a provided fabric.
