Divine Stitches

"BEAUTY FROM THE PAST", the planned quilting class using antique linens, will begin later than planned. Samples are being made and I will post the start date a couple of weeks before class begins. Using antique linens as their focal point, participants will be encouraged to play with a variety of fabric textures in crazy quilt squares. Different stabilizers and adhesives will be used as best fits each project; needle and thread combinations will be covered; and stitches used will be dictated by the machine used. Even the most basic sewing machine can produce a beautiful finished project. This class is very relaxing, and encourages playing with all your machine has to offer. Fun for all!

From "heirloom" to "just finished"...
Betty shared her family "heirloom" quilt with us (all the star pieces are hand stitched), while Aurora was good enough to share her and her mom's "just finished" project. My understanding is the star portion of the quilt was stitched nearly a century ago. Family members helped finish the quilt to completion.
So precious to be able to share this with you. Thank you to all!

"FROM APPLIQUE TO QUILT" Sewing Class begins Wed., Feb. 4th, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. This is a 3 session class Wednesday evenings from 6:00-9:00. Very easy class in which participants use a variety of stitches on their machine to create an appliqued picture of their choosing. The subject of your quilt can range from a simple flower to a scene depicting a number of subjects/objects.
Participants learn to work with applique techniques, use the rotary cutting tools, learn different layering methods, and add borders as desired to reach the desired size of quilt. Borders are quilted as they are added, so a regular home sewing machine can handle this project nicely.
Fun quilt for sewists of all levels. You can play as much as you like with that centre design, trying new threads and machine stitches.
Teaching fee: $40 plus gst.
