Overwhelmed quilters need uninterrupted sewing time for unfinished projects, Christmas sewing, and for catch-up on class work.

It is possible to register for one day or two or three. Please know that the cost is slightly less if you pay for the three day package. But this payment option gives you some flexibility, month to month.

The Traditional Log Cabin Die Class
The Traditional Log Cabin Die Class
There is nothing quite like the satisfaction that comes from playing with the log cabin die. It is one of Accuquilt's creations that make life so much easier.
The die cuts 1 1/2" strips in a variety of lengths. They are all set to sew into quilt blocks that can measure different sizes. Much depends on how many rounds are put onto the center square.
Our class will inspire you with a 'museum' of pattern designs and ideas that turn almost any quilter on to using the log cabin quilt blocks. I have created a Facebook page for log cabin students and you will receive a study guide for a permanent reference.

The Underground Railroad Class
The Underground Railroad Class
Eight three hour classes across four months. Take a look at historical myths.
I have wanted to teach an Underground Railroad class for a long time. Since the Underground Railroad during slave times has been talked about for generations, it has fascinated me. Many say it is more myth than fact, and yet repeatedly the tales are told, celebrating black heroes and white heroes from days long gone.
It has been fascinating. I've delved into the myths, looked at old photographs, read historical perspectives and tried to immerse myself into life back then. What was it like? How did folks help each other? Was quilting a 'thing' that saved lives? I've been reading and researching. Now I am ready to combine a bit of history with poetic license in order for us to create our own story of the Underground Railroad.
We will look at 12-16 quilt blocks. Instead of hand quilting, we will bring these blocks into today, make them Accuquilt friendly, and design our own Underground Railroad quilt. What story might we tellL? At the least, we will enjoy sewing and piecing together; at the most, we will walk away with an appreciation for history, what it tells us, and what we might choose to read between the lines.

The Arkansas Traveler
The Arkansas Traveler
There has been interest in the Arkansas Traveler. A number of folks informed me they needed support when removing the cellophane. So, a class with directions on how to use the die will be helpful. What a great way to start the new year!
This is a die with a cozy creative twist. We will look at inspirational patterns and examine what secondary patterns emerge when the block is used repeatedly. We will brainstorm about how this block could interact with other BOB dies to breathe life into a novel quilt. Interested? I hope so.

Quiltnotes, EQ8 and Accuquilt
Quiltnotes, EQ8 and Accuquilt
Monday, January 26th, 1-4:00 p.m. Eastern time
Carol Thelen is amazing. She is a member of our Learning and Support page. Her educational training was in engineering, and in retirement she reinvented herself by creating Quiltnotes.com.
In October, Carol taught us how to use Accuquilt, EQ8 and Quiltnotes in conjunction with one another. Her explanation is easy to understand, and opens the door to a whole new way of figuring yardage for pieced quilts. At the same time, we learn how to apply borders to quilts, make quilt layouts simple, and even design quilt blocks.
This is a class you do not want to miss. To register for class, click here. Save your space because we close this class at 50 students.
