Jeanne's made a new duffel bag, and if you're an experienced bag maker, you'll want to sign up! It's a fantastic carry-on bag for air travel, with a sleeve to slip it onto your rolling luggage handle.

You will get your money's worth!

Cost: $ 70.00

We agree with Sue, who believes that "the simple stitch with needle and thread fulfills your soul." And in each class, Jane will show you new stitches to add to your joy of stitching. This third class will feature the Butterfly kit. Choose from four color ways and select your own combination of threads from Sue's Primitive Colors collection (50 colors - 25 solid and 25 variegated!).

This age-old method of quilting is still popular today...probably because it is portable, economical and offers so many creative options. English paper piecing dates back to the 1770's. It uses paper, cut into shapes - often hexagons. The fabric is cut 1/4" bigger than the hexagon paper, then basted around the paper before the pieces are sewn together. Once the design is competed the papers are removed. In the 18th and 19th centuries, paper was a luxury, so women reused newspaper, old letters, catalogues etc. Today, we have packages of precut shapes to make it easier, faster and more accurate. Jane will teach you the technique, and show you many ways to use it.
