Lonestar AND Easy Piecing Classes Coming Right Up!





Who doesn't love a Lonestar? Quilters have been intrigued by their beauty and complexity for generations. One of the most recognizable quilt styles in America, Lonestars feature a large central star pieced from diamond shaped fabrics that radiate from the center outward to form star points. They're an array of color play loaded with wow-factor that lands at the top of every quilter's "someday" list. Are you ready to give it a try but not quite sure how to begin? Tami Johnson has practiced and perfected the art of the Lonestar and we are thrilled to have her on board to teach classes dedicated to theory and technique for planning and piecing your own Lonestar design! Join our three-part class Thursdays, March 11th, April 8th and May 13th from 10:00 till 1:00 at our School House and go beyond the basics of theory and technique! Tami has put together a unique guide included in the cost of the class that will be a valuable reference. Build confidence and extend your skill set as you sew a stunning Lonestar, all your own!


In class one of this three-part series, you will learn how color placement effects the Lonestar design,  draft your color design options and learn the mathematics that will enable you to create a Lonestar specific to your desired design and size as well as determining the yardage required for your personalized Lonestar.


Classes two and three will be spent cutting, pinning, sewing, and pressing...followed by more cutting pining, sewing and pressing!  You will learn the techniques to create and complete your beautiful design accurately. There is no kit provided for this class but it's an excellent opportunity to dig into your stash and use up scraps! Or stop in the quilt shop and let us help you select fabrics once you've developed your design plan. Tami is excited to help you every step of the way! The quilts pictured here are just a sampling of the various designs Tami has made. You may recognize the quilt below as her masterpiece that was on display at the annual Springville Museum of Art Quilt Show! Don't wait for "someday" to begin your Lonestar work of art. Register now online or come in and see these gorgeous quilts in person and sign up while you're here!



GREAT IDEA: If you're a bit intimidated by the idea of taking on a large scale Lonestar project, register for Tami's Lonestar Primer Class! Wednesday, February 24th, 10:00-3:00 ($25 class fee). You'll make a small-scale wall quilt using Tami Johnson's easy tips and tricks to achieve matching points and a flat block. Build skill and confidence in preparation for your next Lonestar masterpiece. You'll finish this 15.5" x 15.5" wall quilt (shown below) in class! There is not a kit available for this one but it's a great opportunity to use up scraps or we would love to help you pull together fabrics here at the shop.
We suggest taking this class as a fun and manageable prerequisite to Tami's Lonestar Theory and Technique class.
