In September I began teaching a block of the month class using the Stitcher's Garden pattern from The Stitch Connection. This 85" by 93" quilt is filled with colorful flowers and uses different techniques each month. Students in the class are at all ability levels, from beginner to advanced. They are learning to use all the features on their wonderful Bernina machines - decorative stitches, specialized feet, and all the bells and whistles that make our Berninas the top-rated machines.
I’ll be posting my blocks here on my blog, and hopefully, students in the class will post their blocks too. It will be fun to see how the same block looks in the wide variety of fabrics that students in the class are using.
I’m beginning a new session of this class which will meet on the second Thursday evening each month, beginning January 11. Interested students can call Peace & Appliqué Quilt Shop, 217-498-6771, to sign up for the class. I’m hoping we’ll be able to start a third session in the spring.
