 Crosscut Quilt
Pam Raby
$35
Sunday April 9 9:00-4:00
Join Pam in learning an exciting new "crosscut" technique designed by Debbie Jeske and create an extraordinary quilt top! The X blocks are constructed and sewn together improv style. New blocks are then cut from the quilt top, which are assembled into the final quilt, incorporating scraps as you go. This process is a great combination of improv, a dash of structure, and "let's use up some scraps!" You will need a background collection of 10" squares (or layer cakes) and contrasting colorful 1 to 1 1/2" strips. Rev up those rotary cutters and grab those scraps, for a day of Crosscut joy!

Pincushions & Pinpillows - Intro to Wool Applique' - Cascade Cones
Tonye was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, where she learned the love of many kinds of hand work from her mother: crewel embroidery, sewing, counted cross-stitch, and knitting. Then, in 1992, she fell in love with quilting. Growing up with all of that hand sewing carried over to her quilting.
She has has lived in the tiny mountain community of Camp Sherman, Oregon since 1972, and is constantly inspired by this beautiful world we live in and all of the creative people she gets to meet through quilting. Her applique work is beautifully presented in her book, "Hand Appliqued Quilts, Beautiful Designs & Simple Techniques."
