1. TITLE: Little Bunnies
DESCRIPTION:
I have sewn the bunnies and the rest is turning,
stuffing, doing a bit of simple hand work and adding bits and pieces with hot
glue and tying the ribbons. Even the vest is one piece and can be sewn or hot
glued at the shoulders.
The printed Bunny in the picture is made from woven
cotton. The kit contains fabric for bunnies made from a firm knit, not printed
cotton. You can make more bunnies later from your quilting
fabrics....and....make a quilt and a bunny for an Easter gift!
CLASS SIZE: 14 absolute max.
KIT : $7 Your kit contains
everything (except the things to bring listed below) including a pattern with
brief directions so you can make more bunnies.
BRING:. Bring hot glue and a gun
if you have one... An extension cord... Sharp scissors...polyester stuffing (
half a bag is plenty)... a stuffing tool ( I prefer a long, flat blade
screwdriver)...A hemostat for turning if you have one...(I have several to
share) A fairly long hand sewing needle
and thread in cream...(Be sure you can see the eye of the needle!...)

2. TITLE: Switch Plates that look like little quilts
DESCRIPTION: We will use a
simple technique to decorate switch plates or socket plates. This is fun and the plates are great for your
sewing room or kids rooms. The project
is fast and easy. You will probably want to make more than one.
CLASS SIZE: 20
KIT : None
BRING:. Bring a switch or socket
plate. Take one off the wall at home or buy a new one. (Wal-Mart has them for
57 cents.) Bring a quilt magazine so you can choose a quilt picture to use for
your plate. Bring white glue, a pencil and scissors.

DAY/TIME: Thursday 4-5 PM
3. TITLE: 10 Minute Quilt Squares.
DESCRIPTION: These are demoed
on Pinterest and You Tube, but none of my quilt friends thought it made a lot
of sense so I "figured" it out and have demoed it many times
now. It is NOT my idea, I am just making
it simple.
I
will demo 2 versions, and show how to change the sizes etc.
I
have made a twin size Christmas quilt using the large cathedral window
"look" version, and am going
to make 4 more for Grand Daughters. I
will bring the finished quilt with me for show and tell at the class.

None
BRING: Nothing

Bouquet

unique display. Mary will demonstrate the technique. IF you do not finish in class
it will be easy to complete on your own.

TITLE: Journaling Round Table
DESCRIPTION: Do you keep a
journal, art journal, sketch book, or something of the kind? Would you like to
get together with others at SBTS who keep journals of some sort?
Would you like to try journaling? It is
easy, and fun. Anyone can do it. There are no hard and fast rules; you do what
works for you.
This is not a how-to workshop but a
round table. We will share what we are doing and any tips, tricks or ideas we
may have. We will have some time to work in our journals together. If there are
new people who want to get started we will help.
CLASS SIZE: Any
KIT: None
BRING: Your journals and journaling supplies. If you have ephemera,
collage fodder and stuff you no longer need, please bring it to share with the
group.
If you are new and do not know what to bring
let us know and we will suggest some basics.

moderators. Everyone shares in the leadership.
