Floor Canvas Rugs
PLEASE INCLUDE KIT SELECTION WHEN CHECKING OUT
Do you find that box store throw rugs always seem to fall short for specific interior space dimensions or notoriously fall apart after a few washings...if they can be machine washed at all?!! The frustration is over! Tami Pfeil will introduce you to the concept of a quilted “floor canvas”. That’s right….we are going to create outside the quilt fabric box and create a mini raw-edge appliqué quilt suitable for underfoot! Every holiday season needs some whimsy, and these rugged and washable quilts for the floor fit the bill with utility value and grit to outlast their box-store counterparts.
Whether you’re a seasoned quilting veteran or a sewing newbie, a floor canvas is a terrific, smaller-scale project to hone your basic sewing skills when working with heavier canvas fabrics. An “illustrate with thread” technique will also be introduced to embellish and add visual dimension to the appliqué pieces. There will be plenty of canvas-related tips and tricks along the way. The ease and flexibility of a floor canvas will have you creating these “mini quilts for the floor” for the kitchen, bath, hallway, entry, mud room, and more. All festive options are based on classic HandBEHG Felts designs and holiday themes - just perfect for your home and gift giving! Maximum finished dimension approximately 33 x 51.

Intro to Rulerwork Quilting
INTRO TO RULERWORK QUILTING IS A TWO-DAY CLASS
Would you like to be able to custom quilt your own projects creatively and consistently? Rulerwork is a modern approach to free-motion quilting and offers endless ideas for completing your quilts on a domestic sewing or sit-down longarm machine. In this class, you will learn the fundamentals of ruler work quilting while creating a sampler of ruler work designs that you can use on your projects. You don’t have to be an expert at free-motion quilting to achieve great results with rulers!
You will need a domestic sewing machine for this class. However, owners of BERNINA Q16 and Q20 sit-down longarm machines are welcome to attend as the techniques are the same. Please note sit-down machines will not be used in class.
