Quilting 101: The Classic Log Cabin

Join Leslie Bercher in this Quilting 101: The Classic Log Cabin class!  Unlock the secrets of traditional quilt-making with our QUILTING 101 course, featuring the iconic "Quilt In a Day" Log Cabin pattern by Eleanor Burns.  Over 4 weeks, we will take you from fabric strips to a stunning finished masterpiece using efficient beginner friendly techniques.  You will learn the art of "strip piecing", how to maintain consistent seam allowances, and the best practices for assembling your blocks into a beautiful layout!  This class is designed to build your confidence and provide you with a solid foundation in quilting terminology and construction.  This is a beginner level class, however students should have a basic working knowledge of their sewing machine, including how to thread it and wind a bobbin.

Classes will be on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm, January 28th, February 4th, 11th and 18th. Cost for the class is $150.00. By the final session, you will have a completed (or nearly completed) quilt top and the skills necessary to tackle future projects on your own.
