Fabric Bowls II - 6 hour class, maximum 20 students
More bowls, more fun! This class covers the Triangle Bowl and Octagon Bowl. These two take a bit more time than the first two, but they're well worth it. You will complete both bowls in class, and then look out, you'll be hooked. Bring fabrics you love and create two fun items to take home and show off. All you need to bring are two fat quarters that go together for one bowl and three fabrics for the other.

Bring your own stamps, brushes, sponges & texture makers (see supply list) and get ready to play. Linda recommends bringing more washed fabric.

Design and Color Theory & Practice - 6 hour class, maximum 20 students
If terms like analogous, complimentary, hue, tint, and shade mean nothing to you and you want to learn how to make quilts that YOU like, here is your chance. In the morning we will look at and talk about traditional color theory and design elements. You will do hands-on exercises. You will learn why you like particular color/design choices, and how to choose fabrics and patterns that fit you. In the afternoon you will use one block pattern, one main fabric and background, lots of accents, and work with the concepts you have learned in class to design a quilt top.

Stripey Quilt - 6 hour class, maximum 20 students
Get ready for another of Linda's quick and easy quilts. This one is made in strips. Linda will show you how to piece the strips and quilt the borders. Next you will begin assembly using a method Linda developed especially for this quilt. You can choose to use up scraps or coordinate your fabric using a theme. Be ready for the fun because the quilting happens while you sew the top together. All that's left is to sew on the binding!
