#1201 Embroidered Applique' for Beginners , by Sarah Vedeler, Sarah Vedeler Designs, will be teaching a two day class for beg-intermediate machine embroidery enthusiasts, using Sarah's recently released GO! Bloom Designs.  SewCalGal has stitched out many of Sarah's designs and they always stitch out beautiful and I've taken a prior class with her and have found her to be an amazing teacher.  I'm so inspired I'm signing up for this class and already looking forward to two days with Sarah! 

#1202 – Superior Threads School of Threadology,  will be a two day class where attendees will enjoy an open "thread bar", have fun with fusible thread, play with Texture Magic.  Not sure about you, but attending the Super Threads School of Threadology is high on my wish list for classes.  This is a great opportunity for those able to attend "Road".

#3003 - Radiant Star will be taught by Eleanor Burns (Quilt in a Day), where you'll learn an amazing & easy strip piecing technique that makes this beautiful quilt so easy to create.  I've seen Eleanor in action teaching this technique and give this class a high recommendation.

#3011 – Tea With Me is taught by the talented Sandra Leichner.   This class is perfect for any intermediate-advanced applique' quilter.

Sandra will also be teaching #4501 – Garden Bird

Sandra will also be teaching #6009 – Cupcake Fun.  I don't know about you, but I'm hungry for a class with Sandra.

#4001 – Bento Box and Beyond will be taught by the famous Tracey Brookshier.  This is such a fun quilt pattern that has an amazing 12 different designs, in 5 block sizes, that allow you to create your own unique style 

#5013 – Thread Painting  will be taugh by Nancy Prince is a perfect class for anyone that wants to have fun and be creative with threads.

#5035 – Painted Blocks taught by Laura Murray  will certainly be fun as students play with paintstiks, stamps, and fusible web to create unique and spectacular quilts.
