Class: Clam Up Bag
This bag is popular for gifting. It is quick to make and comes in five sizes, from itty bitty to extra large. If you are intimidated by zippers, don't worry because Jeanne will show you how it is done! You will make one in class (we recommend starting with the larger size), however, these bags can be addictive and many students make several sets of all five bags. They nest together and make wonderful gifts, that is if you want to give them away and not keep them for yourself. This is a really fun class and you will love Jeanne.

Class: Quilt-as-you-go Rose Garden Quilt
Jane Ewald, creative hand stitcher and quilter, loves to find unusual projects like this vintage-style quilt! She says both confident beginners and more advanced quilters will enjoy making it. Inspired by a design by Heather French called French Roses, Jane wanted to try a rag-quilt approach. You'll love the simple raw-edge applique process. She'll show you how to use either free motion or regular machine stitching to quilt each block separately, then join them with exposed seam allowances for a shabby chic style. If you want that extra cuddly heirloom feel, wash your quilt on a high agitating cycle, dry it, and start snipping threads!
