Sewing & Quilting classes

Tucker University is a series of 12, monthly classes; 3 hours in length. Each class introduces the quilter to a Deb Tucker Studio 180 Design tool and all of the uses of that tool. Quilters will learn how to make fundamental quilt units with high precision and low stress! Our teacher, Carol Gibson-Weik, is a Certified Instructor for Deb Tucker’s Studio 180 Design. She enjoys teaching the benefits of the design tools and techniques. Her mission is to create a fun, educational, and relaxing environment for all levels of quilters. Corner Beam.... This tool creates a fundamental unit that is sure to add sparkle to your quilt block designs. Although the ruler shape is similar to the V-Block, the final unit has two seam lines radiating from a single corner, so the center triangle in the finished unit resembles a beam of light shining out of that corner. The construction of a Sliver unit advances the use of the Corner Beam and once again makes precise piecing look hard when it is easy.

Start at the beginning, learn how to rotary cut, piece with a ¼" seam, press, machine quilt and put the binding on. We will work on a small lap quilt. You will learn step by step, whether you have never sewn on a machine before, or have sewn but want to learn the proper method of quilting, this is the class for you. We have lots of fun and you will go home with a new skill every week.
