Quilting 101 comes to Troy

Submitted by Tammy Anderson

Tender Lovin’ Quilters of Troy would like to announce their annual Quilting 101 event, which will be offered on Saturday Feb. 25, at the Troy United Methodist Fellowship Hall. This is an all day event offered free to the general public to maintain and promote the art of quilting.

This year we’re pleased to announce numerous members of Kootenai Valley Quilt Guild will be assisting in this event. Beginning at 9 a.m., a variety of short demonstrations will be given all morning on numerous quilting related subjects including but not limited to antique quilts, sewing machine maintenance, paper piecing, scrap quilting and fabric organizing.

Attendees will learn how to make a self binding baby quilt and how to sew with faux leather. Door prizes will be given out randomly and the guild will have a flea mart table with quilting related items for sale.

A pot luck potato bar luncheon will be served at noon, followed by an afternoon hands on class. Advance sign up will be needed for the afternoon class and a small fee of $8, for supplies will be charged. The participants will make a portable portfolio, and will need to furnish their own fabric. A sample of this project can be seen at The Quilt Cottage.

Advance sign up is asked for this class as there is room for 12 only, and interested persons should call Tammy at 295-5340 in the evenings or email anderson@cuttingcrewfitness.com.
