Pam Bono, nationally known designer, publisher and teacher in the quilt world will be presenting a quilting lecture and class August 17th and 18th at the McMinn County Living Heritage Museum in Athens, Tennessee. If you have ever wanted to take a class from a well-known teacher, but can’t afford the time and expense to go to a big quilt show, here’s your chance. Sign up today to enjoy the experience of learning from someone who is creative, fun and down to earth.
Friday, August 17, 2007 at 7 pm Pam will speak on her experience as a pattern and book designer. She will explain the process of how she got into the publishing business as she shows quilts that she has made over the years. Admission is free to Heritage Quilt Guild members and $7 for nonmembers for the lecture and trunk show. Preregistration is not required.
Saturday, August 18, 2007 from 9 am to 3 pm Pam will teach her speed piecing technique using the Angler 2 that she developed several years ago. Accuracy and speed are the emphasis as each student completes a good portion of the project. Registration for the class is $75 and includes your kit, which consists of first quality fabrics that are accurately cut and labeled for the Iris Table Runner, 4 Placemats and 4 Napkins project. A total of 7 yards! There is also an Angler 2 in the kit, cut and ready for use. The only other supplies needed for the class are a sewing machine and basic sewing supplies. The deadline for class registration is August 10th on a first come, first served basis. In order to secure our spot in the class, a (nonrefundable) $35 must be received as a down payment, with the rest due at the time of the class.
Presented by the Heritage Quilt Guild of Athens, TN. For more information or to register, contact Jane Phillips at 423-745-1367 on weekdays, 423-744-9877 on evenings and weekends or by email at jm.phillips @comcast.net.
