Friendship Knot Quilters' Guild

Monday, March 15, 2010, 9am – 4pm
Bahia Vista Mennonite, 4041 Bahia Vista Street, Sarasota

Skill level: All
Cost: $40

Class Description:
Sarah, a 14 year old young lady in 1827, pieced and appliquéd a beautiful bed quilt and had the foresight to sign and date it. What a treasure! In the center of Sarah Johnson's lovely scrap quilt is a charming mini-quilt, a sparkling little medallion quilt that stands alone as a wall hanging. This is a fun project that provides room for both structure and creativity. The first part of the classes will be spent learning to piece the Variable Star by hand. Templates will be provided, so piecing can begin immediately. The second part of the classes will be spent on hand appliqué. It takes no previous experience. A third portion of the classes will be spent talking about signature blocks and discussing a quilt label for the back of the quilt. This is an opportunity to create a reproduction quilt on a smaller scale. A real charmer!
