Beginners Quiltmaking Class

If you are a beginning quilter or even a wannabe quilter, I highly recommend an upcoming class at Intown Quilters in Atlanta, GA. http://www.intownquilters.com.
The class description is as follows:


Beginners Quiltmaking Class
1/14, 1/28 & 2/11 Saturdays 1-5p OR
2/18, 3/4, & 3/18 Saturdays 1-5p $85
Learn to make a Rail Fence lap size (42 inches X 54 inches) quilt from beginning to end. In this class, the intimidation of quilting should be eliminated. You will be taught many techniques and rules, such as cutting, strip piecing, seam allowance, pin-basting, quilting, binding and more. The class is taught in 3 sessions (4 hours each) and requires homework and a sense of humor. Taught by Maxine Moore.

Maxine Moore taught many of us in the Brown Sugar Stitchers Guild how to quilt. You can’t go wrong with this class.

Check out one of Max’s personal masterpieces above. This one was raffled off as a fund raiser at the Brown Sugar Stitchers’ Quilt Show.

    Just returned from overseas last week. Reading old email and noticed a reference to your site and the beginner's classes. Tried like anything to sign up, but unable to make arrangements in one day. I only see 2 class offerings. Hope that will change. I will be driving 3 1/2 hrs to attend your classes, so it will take some planning. I can't wait to start.
