Floral Menagerie features simple and adorable appliqued animals with full size templates included in the pattern. Each block features a different border block which is a great way to enhance your quilting skills. Constructing this quilt involves the use of multiple techniques including applique, Flying Geese, 9 Patch, Friendship Stars, Pinwheels, paper piecing and more. The finished quilt is approximately 72" x 96" while each block is 24" x 24". Our Floral Menagerie top is currently on display at the shop. The first class will be on February 17, 2018 where you will receive your full kit or the first set of blocks. At this first class, you do not need to bring your sewing machine and other sewing tools as this will be an overview and a complete demonstration of how to make the first two blocks, the duck and the elephant blocks. We will meet six times at a cost of $36.00 per month, which includes the class, the pattern, the bonding material, and all materials required to complete the two blocks featured for each class. Additionally the binding fabric will be included in the final kit. For those who would like help to stitch their blocks at the shop, we will arrange a separate time to meet. We will also decide at this class whether we prefer the lecture demo model for the remaining blocks or the comprehensive in class demonstration. A full kit option is also available for the more adventurous, at a cost of $220.00. The full kit also includes fabric for the binding, all necessary fabric, all required stabilizers and the full pattern. The full kit is 10% off if ordered before February 15, 2018, making it $198.00 + tax. Pay at the time of order. Additionally, if you prefer, you may use your own fabric selections. Ask at the shop for the fabric requirements. For those wishing to have their fabric kits shipped, domestic shipping is an additional $4.00/month or $10 for the full kit.
