Classes

During this class I'll give ideas (like the projects in the photo) on how to use the fabrics you just created. You must have some experience making quilts. Note: in the class you will make the blocks which you will take home to use in a project of your choice.

Cost: $ 35.00
Would you like a Quilt as You Go table runner that looks complicated with curved pieces but actually has no curved sewing? All straight seams, fun, fast and it looks great in any combination! And as a bonus, you get to use some of those fancy stitches on your machine if you have them and want to play. But it also looks great with a plain zigzag or blind hem stitch.

Cost: $ 35.00
Are you new to quilting but you've already taken the Beginner series? Are you ready to move up to the next level but not sure where to start? There are 16 projects in the book "Let's Do Lunch". Lenny will be offering a series of classes with each class focusing on three projects. choose one: Toast Points OR Lynn's tote OR Escargot. NOTE: You need to have experience using a rotary cutter, sewing a 1/4" seam, and the basics of quilt making.

Manx Quilting - At first glance these blocks look like traditional log cabin quilt blocks. But their construction is different, in a foundation-pieced quilt-as-you-go method using strips of fabric. The Manx method is inexpensive and portable. It requires no fancy notions or batting, uses up scraps of fabrics, is easy, FUN, and addictive. No sewing machine is required as this is a hand stitching class. Anyone can accomplish Manx stitching! Nearly all of the Serendipity Staff are making blocks using the Manx method. ****PROOF OF UP TO DATE COVID VACCINATION IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND CLASSES **** NO SEWING MACHINE REQUIRED

Cost: $ 40.00
Learn paper piecing with Lenny . This is an absolute beginner paper piecing class. You will learn how to paper piece by sewing a simple block from the book "Show Me How to Paper Piece", by Carol Doak, that you will need to purchase separately. . You will be required to bring your sewing machine and have experience using it. This is not a beginner sewing class - its a beginner paper piecing class!

Need an original gift for someone or for yourself? I have the answer: A wrapped rope bowl. Come join the fun as we use clothesline rope and fabric to make one of A kind bowls. We will also make a mat that makes a great hot pad. A sewing machine with zigzag capabilities and a few supplies and you can have a mat and bowl by the end of class. These bowls are almost like potato chips: you can?t make just one!
