Stitcher's GardenBe Quick on your Feet – Stitchers Garden Block of the Month

Everyone is welcome!  Learn as you go!  The fundamentals of this hands-on class is to learn what your machine and some of the most popular feet available can do for YOU!  Each month we will construct a block (or two,) and at the end of the year, you will have a lovely quilt (85” x 93”) to boot!  Blocks range in size from 20 ½” or 14 ½” with two months making two 5 1/2” x 16 1/2”.  Class sessions will be three hours hands-on with tips, techniques, and demonstrations of how to use the featured foot.  You will do a little practice and then construct your block. 

Pre-register for $45.  This pays for 5 yards of background fabric required to make the quilt.  $14 for each monthly session; includes additional fabrics to make the blocks (kitted for you monthly), patterns, and workbook pages.  Pre-pay for entire year for only $169!  A $30 savings and even if you must miss a month or two, you will still receive the workbook pages with patterns and the fabric kit for each month so you can complete the quilt regardless!  There will be an optional matching finishing kit for sawtooth blocks, sashing, borders, and binding for $75.
