Discovery Day Classes Offered
Sunday, May 17, Two Bags
Beth Donley will teach two easy bags. One is the gift card holder
bag that she made for the last tea party. Each of these take about
two hours to make.
Saturday, June 27, Sew Together Bag
Gail Reinke is back by popular demand to once again teach us how to make a Sew Together Bag for sewing and quilting essentials. The pattern is available online at https://quiltingbookspatternsandnotions.com/collections/sew-demented-quilt-patterns ($12). This will be held at the Newcastle United Methodist church location.
Sunday, July 19, The Mondo Bag
Gail Reinke will teach the Mondo Bag, which involves ironing 2 1/2” squares to an interfacing grid to quickly create the patchwork. You may be able to find the pattern as a free download, but you must buy the interfacing at Walmart or Amazon. This class is full and will be held at the Long Valley Hall since the Auburn Vets Hall will be under renovation.
Saturday, August 1, Stacked Bowls
Peggie Wormington will guide us in paper piecing this cute set of bowls. You may have seen this at our quilt show since Peggie was our featured quilter.
Saturday, August 15, 9-Patch Pizazz
Carol Vierra will use Judy Sisneros' book, 9-Patch Pizzaz, to guide us through which design would be the best for our fabric choices. This is her “go to” pattern because it can accommodate large prints and various design options. She had several examples in our last guild show. The book can be purchased at Thrift Books for about $5 or via other online stores.
Saturday, September 12, 2026 Garden Party
Joan Sampson will teach a portion of the Garden Party Laura Heine pattern. In one day, we will only be able to get a good start on what you could make into a wall hanging or table runner, or you could complete the remaining sections of the quilt on your own. There will be special items to purchase for this class.
Saturday, November 7, Travel Time Zips
Gail Reinke will teach the Quilt’s Illustrated pattern ps191 Travel Time Zips that you can buy online. The class will be held at the Auburn Vets Hall.
