Spool of Thread

Everyone here at Spool of Thread is so excited over our newest quilting project, the Ready! Set! Quilt!. When Nicole, one of our instructors, brought the finished quilt by the shop, we couldn’t have been more pleased. The quilt has found its home on our retro chair, and ever since has been touched and picked up by sewers of all levels.

Ready! Set! Quilt! class covers Quilting 101 knowledge from good tips for using a rotary cutter, putting together the quilt top and even quilting the project together using a walking foot. Plus, the best part of the class is hanging out at Spool of Thread with the other students, and sewing. We love the days our quilting classes run, as the shop feels like a day camp for sewers. People sit, drink their tea, chat and stitch away on their new quilts.

For the sample, we picked a gradient color range for the quilt, but we think it would look equally darling using rows of prints, using different prints with all the same colors or anything you can imagine!

Sundays, September 18th, 25th and October 2nd.

11:00am – 3:00pm. $199

Note: A small amount of homework may be required. We scheduled the class first thing in the morning so that students will have time later in the afternoon if they need it to complete the day’s tasks.

I really can’t wait to take the No Fray Duvet and No Fray Pillowcase Set home to place on my bed. Henry and I made the samples for the class last week and over the weekend they delighted my eyes and reminded me of sleep.

There are a few spots in the upcoming classes if you’d like to make a duvet or pillowcase set for yourself. The No Fray Duvet class is on Saturday, November 13th from 11:30 – 4:30pm and the No Fray Pillowcase class is Wednesday, November 17th from 6:30 – 9:30pm.

Hopefully my mom doesn’t see this, because I think this would be the perfect Christmas gift for her.
