Class Descriptions:
A word about copyrighted material . . . As you know, many of the classes we offer require you to purchase a book or pattern. Since the information contained in those books and patterns is considered “copyrighted” material, it is illegal to photocopy all or any portion thereof particularly to share with a friend to use during a class. The Granary gladly offers all paid students a 10% discount on all class supplies, including books and patterns. We all want to support the creative efforts of the hard-working designers who develop our favorite quilt patterns and encourage them to continue to publish and create. In order to do that, we must properly compensate them for sharing their ideas with us by purchasing their books and patterns. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration!
Create a beautiful star design by learning Terry Atkinson's method of adding floating points to a simple 9 patch. A sure success to have all the points of your stars perfect! |

Have you joined us for our “Happy Hour” yet? This Friday afternoon or evening get-together has quickly become one of our most popular clubs! Paula, Jody and Mary Kay are your hostesses and will spend the evening showing you the latest and greatest merchandise in the shop and demonstrating new techniques. In 2010 we will be making a small change to the program. We will alternate between quilts made using 2½” strip sets and fat quarter bundles. Each month a specially-coordinated bundle of 2½” PRECUT strips or fat quarters and a surprise pattern will be introduced along with a thorough demonstration of assembly techniques. You’ll provide your own background, accent and/or border fabrics (as necessary depending upon the pattern) so everyone’s quilts will be unique. The fabrics will be revealed the month prior to the meeting so you can decide if you’ll be joining us at the next meeting. The pattern will remain a secret until the meeting and is always free with your purchase of the fabric bundle. Join us for “Happy Hour” whichever months you choose for $48. Better yet, when you pre-register for a Happy Hour club meeting (on or before the 15th of the month), you will receive a special price of just $38 for your bundle. Two meetings to choose from—afternoon or evening! |
