TOO SMALL TO KEEP, TOO BIG TO THROW AWAY
All Levels
What do you do with all those scraps that are too small to keep, but too big to throw away?
Learn
how to create new fabric using those fabric scraps that you just can’t bear to toss. Then use your newly-made fabric
to make a credit card sized wallet. If you choose the Extra Pocket pattern, you can probably complete your project in
class! OR, if you have a favorite purse pattern, you may also bring it to class. You will create new fabric for
your purse, but probably won’t have time to complete a larger purse in class.

your background! Fabric will be provided for cutting out, but bring your own basket block to use as a design background.
We’ll discuss flower arranging, adding embellishments, layering concepts, plus techniques for both hand or machine appliqué
as well as a brief review of the historical use of cut-out chintz (broderie perse) in the 1800s. Reproduction fanatics
would enjoy this class, as well as quilters who enjoy giving a contemporary twist to tradition. The class will include

for in a machine. We will review all the basics of loading, maintenance, threads, tension and pattern applications as
we quilt a simple wallhanging and play with a few quilting techniques you may not have thought about doing with a long arm
machine. 10 machines will be set up for this class – no more than two students per machine. (This class will be

Angela McLean
TIMES & SEASONS (Lecture with Piano)
All Levels
When Angela visited the Prairie Meditations art show at Prairie Winds in Grand Island, featuring
the paintings of Cynthia Duff and the poetry of Tricia Moon-Beem, she was amazed and inspired. Angela has always believed
that “art inspires art.” With the artist’s and poet’s permission, she composed 22 original piano
works based upon this exhibit and recorded as a CD. She also designed and created original quilts to go along with the
music. By combining two areas of interest, she performs and lectures about music and quilts. This program will entertain,
explain and contain quilts, folklore and humorous material for all to enjoy.
