Friends, I am so pleased and excited to be offering a Quilted Church Banner Retreat!  The Retreat will be given at a classroom in my home in Waitsburg, WA and is a real one-on-one learning opportunity.  I will be accepting only three students per session, so the space is very limited.  Because of this I urge you to register as soon as possible!  This week long retreat will be offered once monthly starting on  Monday at 1pm and running to Friday 12pm.  Lunch will be provided Tues, Wed, and Thurs. 

During the class we will be constructing the four pictured church banners measuring approx. 18”x24”.  While taking this class not only will you get the opportunity to learn and master many quilting and banner techniques, you will also be creating beautiful masterpieces to share with others.  You will be walked through many quilting techniques: using fusible interfacing, appliqué, Heat’n’Bond, Quick Bias, word/verse and stained glass quilts, binding, fringe, tassels, plus much more.  This retreat is an opportunity for you to get a real handle on the skill of making, quilting, and hanging church banners.  Each student will be supplied with four complete kits for the projects, though you are more than welcome to bring the fabric of your choice.  You will be required to bring your own sewing machine, as well as a few additional sewing items.
