Hoopsisters “Goose Tracks”

New Group Starting in August!

“Goose Tracks” is the latest fantastic EmbroidaBlock project from Hoopsisters. If you have an embroidery machine and want to find more uses for it, this is the class for you. If you are not a quilter but would like to be, this is the class for you. And if you are quilter and you think an embroidery machine is nice but not necessary, think again!

The quilt is made using the quilt-as-you-go “in the hoop” embroidery method (which you will learn in class). Choose a great background fabric, and use your fabric scraps to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Diane calls this a “stash buster”.

This is a 4-month class. For the first class, we’ll make a sample using scrap fabrics from your stash so you get the basic understanding of the process. At that class you will also receive a CD with fabric planning information, which we’ll go over in class. If you’ve taken previous Hoopsisters classes, you’ll really enjoy that almost no two of the “Goose Tracks” blocks are the same.

Instructors: Diane Williams & Mickie Broy
Fee: $25 / month includes designs and instructions
Dates: Tuesdays ~ August 9, September 13, October 11 and November 8, 2 - 5 pm
