Starters Club

Starters club is not really a club, but a space reserved on this web site for our participants to share with their peers. Keep watching to see what people are working on...and watch the finishers club to see how beautiful the projects look when completed.

This week we taught a Watercolor's class. The students were all able to just about able to complete this project. I an sure the reason they did not complete their projects had something to do with all the laughing that was coming from the classroom!

Christmas Club

‘A Journey to Light’ was an inspired work of art—a creative gift during a difficult season in my life. It’s my hope that you and your loved ones will find the same inspiration in this winter scene year after year. In stillness once again we find The promise of the Light And hear a message in the calm ‘Trust, my child, let Love be your guide.’” —McKenna Ryan Frame each of these seven blocks separately, or join them with the “Completing the Journey” block, which contains the chickadee and holly-berry appliqué. Step-by-step instructions and fusible techniques make this holiday quilt project easier than you think!
