The Irish Chain pattern is a patchwork classic—simple yet elegant, easy and enduring.  This pattern would make a wonderful wedding quilt when you make it in the new couple's bridal colors.

The single Irish Chain uses just two colors to create impact, the double Irish Chain features three colors or values and the triple Irish Chain uses 4 fabrics.  

Take your pick of patterns. We’ll show you an amazingly fast and easy strip piecing method to knocking out your blocks quickly.

 This class is perfect for beginners who are comfortable with sewing quarter inch seams!

Our popular Spot On Retro quilt is being reborn because FreeSpirit is reprinting Denyse Schmidt’s Flea Market Fancy prints!  And we’ve ordered the full collection (due to ship early March!) 

Not to worry—these spots do not require curved seams so it’s much easier than it looks.  In fact it’s nothing more than simple machine applique—a technique that can be used on quilts, clothes and/or decorative projects. 

In this class we’ll focus on the machine applique technique using steam-a-seam.  You’ll get lots of technical help and time to stitch.

 Supply list:

• ·         Quiltology pattern
• ·         Fabrics (yardage based on pattern and size of quilt you’re making)
• ·         100% cotton thread
• ·         Rotary cutter
• ·         Pins, seam ripper, scissors and/or thread snips
• ·         Sewing machine with quarter inch foot***

Due to popular demand—we’re repeating this class! 

Say “I do” to Denyse Schmidt’s Single Girl pattern—a witty take on the traditional wedding ring—and let Mary show you how to make this fun project. 

You’ll learn how to use freezer paper to create fast and easy templates, piece the rings so they fit perfectly and sew curved seams.

Because this is a precision piecing project that requires consistency in quarter inch sewing, we would advise you to use your own machine!

• ·         Fabrics (yardage based the size of quilt you’re making)
