Round Tuffet

Wouldn’t it be fun to use our favorite fabric to make a piece of furniture? If this sounds

interesting, then this is the class for you. In just two classes you will create your own unique tuffet.

If you know how to use a rotary cutter and can sew a straight line, the class will be nothing but

fun. In the first class you learn the technique to make the

cover to your tuffet. You will then have time to complete

your cover before the second class. The second class we put

it all together.

Required: Upholstery kit - $120 fee payable to the

instructor. Rotary cutter experience.

Instructor: Julie

Fee: $63

Saturdays, January 13; 12–3 pm and February 3, 12–4pm

Square Tuffet

As with the very successful round tuffet class, the square tuffet will require sewing skills.

With the use of templates, you will cut out all

the pieces you need to finish your unique

piece of furniture. The remainder of our time

is spent learning how to sew 1/4 of your tuffet

cover together. This will give you the

confidence to go home and sew the remaining

3 sections. In the second class, we get out the

power tools and you put it all together.

Required: Upholstery kit - $120 fee payable to

the instructor.

Instructor: Julie

Fee: $90

Saturdays, January 19; 10:30 am–3:30 pm and

Quilts for Kids

On the first Tuesday of each

month (exceptions starred) a

group of experienced, charity-

minded quilters meet at PQW to

sew for the organization, Quilts

for Kids. Quilts are donated to

care facilities to be given to

children who are ill, abused, or in

difficult situations who could use

the comfort of a handmade quilt.

Although all the spots for sewing

participants are filled, we can

certainly use more volunteers to

sew quilts at home. Kits will be

provided.

If interested, please contact Deb

for more detailed information

concerning your involvement in

this worthwhile cause:

debbie@greaney.com.

Meets: 10:15 am–3 pm

January 15*, February 5, March

Class registration policy

• Full payment is due upon signing up for a class. You can make payment in the store, online, or by phone. A supply list will be given or sent to you at that time.

• 100% of class fees are refundable or transferable to another class if cancellation is made at least 72 hours before class.

• No credit, refund or transfer to another class will be given if 72-hour notice is not given. Our teachers prepare for each student in each class in advance of the class.

• No-shows forfeit any refund or exchange.

Private Class For times when a regularly scheduled class just won’t do, we offer private classes to fill the void. Let’s say that a class you're interested in requires rotary skills, and you’re still snipping along with scissors. Well a 1-hour private class will bring you up to speed. Or say that you really want to get the hang of paper-piecing or some other skill. Or maybe our classes just don’t fit in your schedule. Talk to any one of us and we’ll find you the right person at the right time to teach you what you need to know. $25 per hour per person.
