Star Cross Beginner Quilt Series
From start to finish! Let us walk you through your first quilt from start to finish. We start with fabric selection, reading a pattern, using a rotary cutter and ruler and familiarizing yourself with your machine to get the perfect ¼ inch seam.
This course will extend over 3 sessions and teach you multiple components of a quilt and how to put them together. Two styles of blocks will be constructed that use various techniques and then borders added. Proper seam allowance, cutting techniques, pressing techniques and quilt assembly will be taught. When the units are complete and your quilt top is assembled, we assist in the process of choosing the right size of backing and getting your quilt top quilted here at the store (optional). When you are done, not only will you be able to claim this quilt as all yours, but you will have the skills necessary to move forward with other quilts as well. Fabric selection will be during first class. Pattern: Star Cross by Gourmet Quilter included with fee.

| Instructor Bio: | Sharon McCann currently lives in Lee's Summit, Missouri which is in Southern Jackson County, Missouri. She has been married to Gene for 36 years and together they have 5 children and 8 grandchildren. Sharon started sewing at the age of nine (9) and did mostly garment making until eight (8) years ago. She decided to take a class at Community College on T-shirt quilts because she had always wanted to make one. Shortly after the class, Sharon started sewing with a ladies church quilt group. While looking for the pattern for the next year's quilt, she found a quilt pattern that she thought would be perfect for her granddaughter's 10th birthday present. After making it, she was hooked! Sharon enjoys trying new things and passing her knowledge and experience along to others. She is a gadget person and will try new gadgets so there is more sewing time and less mechanics time. Sharon also enjoys knitting, crocheting, decorating and travel. |
