I can’t believe summer is nearing an end, although I am very excited about what fall has in store, there are some fun things happening at Bow Bench Retreat.
Shooting Stars Block of the Month Program
Starting September 20th, I am offering a Block of the Month Program, the class fee includes all your fabric, pattern and one day class to complete a queen size quilt over 10 months. This is a wonderful way to learn basic quilt making skills while you create a beautiful quilt, or simply an opportunity to get out of the house and sew in a social setting with your friends. This class is open to all ages and skill levels, a great opportunity to take a class with a friend, child, mother etc. There is a mid week daytime or evening option as well as a monthly Saturday class option in hopes of accommodating your busy schedules. I am thrilled with the registration response to this class, it is sure to fill up to register today.
Vintage Rose Technique of the Month Class
This quilt is a foundation paper pieced design by Judy Niemeyer with (quiltworx.com). The quilt is broken down into units, a new unit is taught every month with the expectation that at the end of 6 months these units can be put together into a quilt top. The skills and techniques you learn every month can then be applied to making other Judy Niemeyer patterns. Class fee includes your pattern.
Free Motion Quilting Classes
Allison Spence is back to teach a Basic Beginning free motion class and a beginner quilting with rulers on your domestic machine class Friday September 29th.
