I've got the details figured out for the ongoing classes for 2021. Here's the overall concept of these classes.
- The classes will take place on Zoom and consist of a one-hour lecture format.
- The Show and Tell will be compiled in a PowerPoint presentation, which is like having a front-row seat.
- We start with Show and Tell and then move onto a discussion for the homework for that month.
- The classes will start in January and occur monthly until November. If the pandemic lockdowns continue, then we'll hold classes in July and August; otherwise, I hope we're all off on vacation somewhere.
- The Zoom sessions will not be recorded.
- There will be a Facebook group set up for each class to share your blocks before the monthly Show and Tell and to stay in touch with each other.
- After class, you'll get a written version of the homework for the month.
For the project(s) that
you are interested in, please read the details carefully. There are different
stores and me hosting the various projects, and you must contact the correct shop (or me) to get on the list. If you require more details, please email me (elainetheriault@gmail.com) directly, and I can
answer them for you.
All in a Row Again
There are 23 different
rows in the book. We'll cover all the rows, and you can decide to make a small
project (like a table runner, placemats, etc.) from the blocks in the row or
make a single quilt. There'll be loads of tips on making row quilts. There's
loads of room to experiment and learn new techniques.
Cost: $25 for the year + book
Book: You need the book
and should be able to purchase from your local quilt shop
Sign up by sending me an
email at elainetheriault@gmail.com. I'll send you more
information as we get closer to the date and instructions for sending the class payment. Please include the word ROW in the subject of the email.

100 Modern Quilt Blocks -
Tula Pink's City Sampler
There are 100 blocks in
the book with several different settings for the finished quilt. It's a great
chance to play with a new colorway, or use scraps, and make this quilt your own. We'll
be looking at ten blocks per month, but they are easy, and you don't have to
make all the blocks.
Cost: $25 for the year + book
Book: You need the book and should be able to purchase from your local quilt shop. I've seen it at Thimbles and Things(Orillia) and at the Indigo near my house.

email at elainetheriault@gmail.com. I'll send you more
information as we get closer to the date and instructions for sending the class payment. PLEASE include the word TULA in the subject of the email.

This
quilt, designed by the team at Sew Kind of Wonderful, uses the QCR Mini ruler, which
means curved seams. WAIT! The curves are gentle, and there's lots of wiggle
room to trim.
There are
also blocks with no curved seams.
There are lots of modern and contemporary block options in this book. And if you bought that QCR Mini ruler and didn't know what to do with it – this is the perfect opportunity to learn what it's all about.

This book is brand new, and there are loads of blocks for you to create your own quilt or make the quilt, as shown on the cover. It's a great way to use up scraps or find a coordinated fabric collection (fat quarter bundle!). There will be loads of tips on color/value/scrappy or not/pressing/piecing/cutting - you name it - we'll cover it.

The challenge in the 72 blocks in this book is the size - they finish at 4". But WAIT - none of them are that challenging, so it's a good introduction to sewing small. There's one applique block in the center, so we'll be touching on several applique techniques. If you don't want to do the applique, then made a few extra blocks. If this isn't your coloring, here's a great opportunity to think outside the pattern and create a brand new colorway. I can't wait to get started!

UFO Club
YES - the UFO club will
continue, and even if we get to meet in person at some point, I'll continue
with the club on Zoom. So you can participate wherever you are. The UFO Club has
been a HUGE MOTIVATOR to get those older projects done!!!! The cost is
$125 for the year. Each month that you complete the assignment that you gave
yourself, you'll get $10 back. So if you get all your homework done, the class
technically costs you $25. A great motivator!!!!
There's still a spot or two left, so be sure to sign up soon so I can get the schedule set for next year. The class takes place on Sunday AM at 11:00. If we have too many for one class, I'll schedule a second class that will also take place on Sunday AM.
If you want to sign-up, send me an e-mail with UFO in the subject line. elainetheriault@gmail.com

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since all the classes take place via Zoom, ANYONE ANYWHERE can participate. That's so much fun, and we've gotten to meet some wonderful people that we would not have met otherwise.
I have no idea how to make this a PDF, so if anyone wants a PDF of the classes, you could e-mail, and I'll send it to you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember -- if you want to sign up for a class (please note that three of the ongoing classes require sign-up at a quilt shop), send me an email at elainetheriault@gmail.com. In the email subject line, indicate the name of the class for which you are signing up.
If you want to sign up for multiple classes, send a separate email for each class with the subject's keyword. I use an automatic filing system for my e-mail, and multiple classes in the same e-mail will only get you registered for the class listed in the title. My filing system will ignore all emails with NO CLASS TITLE in the subject.
I'll send you the instructions for sending an email
transfer to pay for the class.
I know some of you have already sent e-mails, and I'll acknowledge them shortly and start creating the class lists.
There will also be several one-time classes, and I've got a great line-up. I'm just finding spots to plug then into my calendar over the next 6 months. So watch for those before the end of the year.
On that note, I'm out of here today!!!
Have a super day!
Ciao!!!!
