As some of you know I work part time at Byrne Sewing Connection in Doylestown, PA. I also teach some classes there. If you're in that area why not see if there's something of interest below and come on in. We have a good time and it's very informal. You can call the store at 215-230-9411 to sign up for any of my classes below. Tell them Ruth sent you. There are other classes given by Byrne. Why not get on their newsletter mailing list and see what else is offered.
My 2008 Schedule
Free - Quilts of Valor
We are looking for quilters, piecers and longarmers to work together on this very heart-warming project. We at Byrne would like to recognize the sacrifices of our brave armed forces personnel and contribute to the efforts of Quilts of Valor. These very special quilts are being sent to wounded armed services personnel and are a great project for beginners and experienced quilters alike. Join us - whatever your level of experience - for a fun and gratifying day! And, if Sundays just don't work for you, consider making a donation to the special fund we have established to help defray costs of this incredible undertaking. Thank you all - again!
Sunday 10 - 4 pm, 6/8, 7/13, 8/10.
Q1 $5 “Practically Free” Quilt
This is one of our most popular events! We start a new quilt in January, and there's still time to catch up! (See store for details.) Buy the block your first month for just $5 and bring it back the next month - completed and get the next month's block for free! How much better can it get?!! Caution - this can be addictive!
Thursdays 5/29, 6/19, 7/31, 8/28, 9/25, 10/30, 11/20, 12/18.
Show and Tell Party, Saturday 1/24/09, 10 am.
Q4 Bye Bye to Binding Blues
This 2 hour class unlocks the secrets to no-fuss binding for your quilting projects. NO hand sewing. That’s right, no hand needle and thread work. Take the time now to save the time later in completing your projects or gifts.
1 session $15
Tuesday 5/13, 10-12 noon; Tuesday 6/10, 1-3 pm.
Q7 3-D Stars
This spectacular 81" x 94" quilt looks complex, but is easily pieced from half-square triangles. Ruth will be using Eleanor Burns' ruler to make it even easier. A perfect way to use up all of those batik scraps you have around!
1 session $30
Saturday 7/26, 10-4 pm.
