Happy Holidays, Everyone! It has been a long time since Mom or I have posted anything. I don't know where the time goes... I hope you have the time this season to really enjoy some time spent with family and friends. If you have any time to spare, join us at a class or two... Have a very Merry Christmas!

January 26th 6pm: The Art of Racing in the Rain by Gavin Stein
Classes
Recycled Sweater Mittens
Warm mittens, a Minnesota necessity! Clean out your closet, make use of a "laundry mistake" or visit a local thrift store to gather 1 or 2 old sweaters (preferably with a minimum of 70% wool content) and join the fun. Prior to class, shrink/ felt your wool sweaters as much as possible. This can be done by a number of methods, but the easiest is to wash in your washing machine on hot and dry in your dryer on hot. Repeat if necessary. Bring your own sewing machine, scissors, pins, wool sweaters, 1/2 yard of matching fleece, matching thread and matching yarn (optional for decorative stitch).

T-shirt Quilt
Another easy way to repurpose your old t-shirts! A t-shirt quilt makes a great memory quilt, use it as a way to remember a loved one to use it to showcase a part of your or someone else’s life… think graduation gift, etc. The first session of the class we will work on your quilt layout and preparing the t-shirts for use. The second session we will put your quilt top together and decide on backing and binding options along with quilting or tying options.
Materials Needed: Sewing machine, scissors, rotary cutter, mat, and ruler (opt),coordinating thread, T-shirts (lots… at least 12), 10-15 yards of fusible light to medium weight interfacing, and 2-4 yards of a coordinating fabric. (You will eventually need batting and backing fabric, but we will decide on that as the class progresses and you decide how big your quilt is going to be.)
