Class, Block of the Month, Best of Friends Amish with a Twist with Kelley Richardson

"Amish With a Twist III: Best of Friends BOM - Free Class with Kit Purchase!"

2nd Friday of each month from Nov. 2024 - Aug. 2025, 2pm - 4pm

Join Kelley Richardson, quilter extraordinaire, for a captivating Block of the Month class featuring the Amish With a Twist III: Best of Friends BOM by Nancy Rink. This free class is available with the purchase of the $350 kit which includes all fabric (binding and backing) and the comprehensive 10-part pattern.

The 2-hour classes will be held on the 2nd Friday of each month from November 2024 to August 2025, both in-person and via live Zoom. In-person seats are limited to 8, but we have unlimited spaces for Zoom students.

You'll explore a variety of blocks inspired by traditional Amish quilts, such as Diamond in Square and Trip Around the World. Choose from deep navy, charcoal, soft gray, or white background fabrics to make your colours pop for a vibrant, contemporary look. The design includes options for a pieced or appliquéd medallion center, with traditional appliqué or easy raw-edge appliqué using fusible web.

Students are expected to complete their cutting prior to each class. Kelley will guide you through the process, demonstrating each step, helping you bring this beautiful quilt to life. Don't miss this chance to create a stunning quilt and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow quilters.

Secure your kit and join us for this free, 10-part Block of the Month adventure!
