Dale Rhoades Gingerbread House

March 17, 31, and April 21

The kit will include fabric, batting and muslin backing for the house and some fabrics for "candy" and "cookies". It will NOT include commercial "Christmas Candy" or "Christmas Cookies" buttons. These items you can shop for now during the Christmas season that will not be available in March. Look for buttons, miniature cookie cutters, fabric printed with candies or cookies that can be appliquéd or anything realistic. You might also look for miniature Christmas ornaments or decorations that would be appropriate for your house. The lifesaver groundwork is included in the kit.

Paula Nadelstern Workshop

March 17, 31, and April 21

Starting in February, I will be taking reservations for Paula Nadelstern. Kaleidoscope -- the very word promises surprise and magic, change and chance. Exploding with visual excitement, a kaleidoscopic design organizes an abundance of light and color, form and motion into a complex and coherent image. Her goal is to harmoniously integrate the idea of a kaleidoscope with the techniques and materials of quilt making. She tries to free herself from a conventional sense of fabric orderliness, seeking a random quality in order to imitate the succession of chance interlinkings and endless possibilities synonymous with kaleidoscopes. Taking this class will definitely bring surprise to each person's quilt. Come challenge yourself.
