Crazy Quilt Folding Chair with Debbie
Back by Request! Ever wonder what happens when you combine your love of quilting with a little home decorating?? This fabulous crazy quilted chair! In this class you will learn how to crazy "quilt as you go" on the seat and back of an old padded folding chair! But then we take it a step further. Remember when you bought your machine with all those wonderful decorative stitches and you have never used them? This is your opportunity! Let your imagination and inner-artist go wild. We will quilt the pieces with decorative stitches and colorful threads. There is a little bit of before-class prep work involved so please pay close attention to the supply list (will be sent out in the next day or two)! Come and let's have an afternoon of creativity, conversation and fun!!! This class is open to everyone and will be fairly beginner-friendly but you must have a sewing machine that has at least a couple specialty/decorative stitches (while we love our Featherweight machines, that would not be the right machine for this class). (Chairs are available for $15 paid directly to teacher at the class if you do not have one that will work. Just let us know in the notes when you register online or contact the shop so we set one aside for you!)
