To promote quilting and other textile arts in Baldwin City as part of the Quilt Capital of Kansas designation, Quilters' Paradise and the Lumberyard Arts Center are hosting free open studios for anyone who wants to spend the day stitching with friends. Experienced quilters will be on hand if you have questions or need help with a project.
Fall Classes
The following classes are scheduled to be held through the collaboration between Quilters' Paradise and the Lumberyard Arts Center in promotion of Baldwin City's designation as Quilt Capital of Kansas. Class will be held at the Lumberyard Arts Center except as noted.
Quilting Basics with Liz Granberg-Jerome will be offered in four parts on Saturdays, November 12 & 19 and January 7 & 21 from 10am to 3pm at the Lumberyard Arts Center. Over the series you will make enough blocks to create a throw size sampler quilt. Bonus block patterns will be available in classes to make larger sampler quilt.
Quilting Basics Part 1 -- Sat., Nov 12
Basic instruction on straight piecing and half-square triangles. Overview of rulers, notions, and lots of tips. Great refresher!
Quilting Basics Part 2 -- Sat., Nov 19
Adding Flying Geese and Diamond in a Square units will add new variations to your quilting skills.
Quilting Basics Part 3 -- Sat., Jan 7
Take the fear out of sewing curves by adding Drunkard's Path curved piecing to your repertoire.

Foundation Paper Piecing -- Wed., Oct 19
Jump start your quilting to a new level by learning how to foundation paper piece! The Alison Glass Mini Sampler blocks (all available on the QP website as a set or individually) are great starter projects! This technique allows you to create more complex blocks with shapes that aren't easily traditionally pieced. By learning the basics, you can then take on larger projects with knowledge and helpful tips.

Create your own painted barn quilt block that can be hung inside or out with Laura Davids. Workshop includes instruction in the painting process.
Scared Stitchless to Free Motion Quilt -- Wed., Nov 16
