Fractured Landscapes | Saturday, May 15 | Instructor, Nancy Payne | Cost $32

When Nancy shared a quilt that she had made in a class at Sisters, there was immediate interest for a class.  Permission was obtained from the Sister’s instructor and Nancy will be teaching how to reconstruct one panel of fabric into a new and striking design.

Sarah Kaufman has been winning blue ribbons at quilt shows all over the Pacific Northwest since 1996 for her log cabin quilt variations, all pieced with folded strips. Instead of the usual flat strips, these folded or pleated "logs" create depth and wonderful dimension.  You will receive instruction in the morning both days and then have the afternoon to work on your project.

Innovative Traditionals | Fri-Sat, October 15-16 | Instructor, Janet Fogg|Cost $86

Skill and imagination are key words for describing Janet Fogg as an artist and teacher.  Original pattern drawing and curved machine piecing will be taught in class.  However, the ultimate techniques used to create individual works will be chosen by the participants.
