YVQG Quilter's Academy
Quilter's Academy is designed to teach all the techniques used in quilting to beginner quilters. There are two classes being offered on a rotation basis. Each class is comprised of four meetings held at the West Valley Library every Monday afternoon from the start date. During class, participants will complete a designated quilted project. Students must have a sewing machine to use.
* Class 1 teaches the basics of patchwork and easy machine quilting by making an easy table runner. Techniques include accurate seam width, strip piecing, four patches, adding borders, straight line quilting, and binding by machine.
* Class 2 buildings the on the skills learned in class 1. New techniques include half square triangles, designing your own layout and finishing a binding by hand. The project will be seasonal themed, but students will be able to determine what type of project they complete.
Register for classes by calling the West Valley Library at 509-966-7070.

Students MUST have a sewing machine and a pair of scissors (for small cutting tasks) for their use. Essential sewing and cutting tools are provided by the Quilters' Guild for use during class sessions.
Though the classes are provided free of charge, students will be responsible for the purchase of fabrics, batting, and threads chosen for their quilted project. Fabric requirements will be provided on the first day of class. Bring paper and pen to jot down all the information you will be learning.
