Description:
The Jacksonville Center for the Arts offers the class Modern Quilting with Sharon Hall meeting on Saturdays, October 12th and 26th from 9am-5pm each day.

Class Description:
Make a quilt in no time at all (well, for making a quilt at least!). Using modern techniques and the economical "Turning Twenty" quilt pattern, students in this class will create a beautiful heirloom quilt in four 2-hour sessions (okay, so you should probably do a little homework, too). The Turning Twenty quilt is so named because it requires only 20 fat quarters to complete a 70x86”* quilt top, with no fabric waste. This class will include a brief history of quilting, fabric selection, rotary cutting, production piecing, tie finishing (or long arm machine), and binding.

MATERIAL LIST: 20 different fat quarters (18"x22"), 4 yrds material for backing, 1 piece 80x96 batting, 2/3 yd for binding, 1 spool natural color general, purpose thread , sharp scissors, rotary cutter, cutting board , rotary cutting ruler, straight pins. Bring your portable sewing machine if you have one. Contact the center to inquire about loaner sewing machines if you do not have your own.* Students can construct a larger 82x98" quilt by adding an optional 6 ½” border. This will require an additional 2 yrds for border, 5 yes for backing, and 92x108" batting.

Materials Fee: $$20-$30
Minimum Enrollment, 3: Maximum Enrollment, 12
Minimum Age: Responsible Young Adult
