The following Community Service Classes will start at Rich Mountain Community College on June 16:
Have a little summer fun at RMCC!
Make a little Twister quilt top in a day! On Thursday June 16, 2011 Stephanie Povey will teach a one day workshop from 9AM to 5PM at Rich Mountain Community College for this fun and popular quilt. In the class you will learn to make a template, and put together a small quilt top, suitable as a table topper or wall hanging. With the technique you will learn in class, you can easily make a larger sized quilt later. Supplies needed are: sewing machine, needles, thread, pins, about 50 five inch fabric squares of assorted light and dark colors (you will have some left over), 4 three inch strips cut the width of fabric for your border, marking pencils (mechanical pencils and inexpensive color pencils will do), a fine tip Sharpie marker, fabric scissors, craft scissors, template plastic (can be purchased in class…or…hint: a translucent cover that comes on frozen non-dairy topping works great!), and a 6” square ruler, rotary mat & cutter. It is suggested that you starch your fabric before coming to class. That will make it easier to handle later. Bring a lunch and be prepared to have a great time with your friends. This project is suitable for beginners. Spaces are limited, so sign up now. Cost for the class is $20. For registration information, contact Maureen Keese at the college: email
