I saw a post on Facebook that said ... "The only fall colors that change in Arizona are the license plates." While this statement is not 100% true, it does carry a percentage of fact. Fall to us is enjoying our temps being under 100 degrees for the first time since early June! With more and more folks heading south, we are gearing up for the super exciting and busy fall season!
To begin - this week in October we highlight a class that has never been taught here at Arizona Quilts ... Cheese Cloth Art!
Imagine using nothing but cheesecloth and thread to create a masterpiece of your own! Deb's class will teach you how to do just that. Layering different kinds of cheesecloth, dyed cheesecloth and more, you will create a portrait that is unique! When you see this art up close you will be amazed!
In the second week of November, join Judy Niemeyer Certified Instructor - Kelly Grant for a 2 Day Quilt Camp. This relaxed open format quilt camp will enable you to work on any Quiltworx pattern excluding the TOM patterns and the wedding ring patterns. The fee includes 2 days of classes. Attendance is limited to allow for lots of one-on-one help.
For those who love the beauty of nature and all the wonderful landscapes you have seen or photographed, here is your opportunity to CREATE the landscape in fabric. This Collage Landscape class will have Gail take you step-by-step to work on this project allowing all of your creativity to show brightly. Dream in fabric! You will create a 16x20 picture or larger.
These are just 3 of the many exciting Fall classes that are coming in October and November. We're pretty sure that in this schedule there will be something for everyone.
Please see below or click on our website and then click on the calendar to see all of the upcoming classes.
One more thing, there will be no classes on October 11-19 because of the
Dash Through the Desert 2019 Shop Hop.
See below for more details on the hop.
We sure hope to see you soon!
Happy Fall Quilting!
