Class Description

Patti Carey

Mexican Mystery: The quilt for this class will remain a mystery to be revealed during our cruise to Mexico!!  During class, Patti’s techniques will take the mystery out of techniques to create a project that is pure magic! All the fabrics in the project will be pre-cut and ready for you to start right into sewing!! 

Patti Carey

Simplified Double Wedding Ring: Using a simplified double wedding ring pattern she has designed, Patti guides the class through the piecing of an updated version of this classic quilt. Participants will conquer their fear of curved piecing.  We will talk about various fabric options and also discuss the "ins and outs" of binding double wedding ring quilts.  Kits are pre-cut and ready to sew and will include a personally autographed copy of Patti’s book! (Note: Class project will have different fabrics than sample shown.)

Lori Hein

La Fiesta: Join Lori in making this "La Fiesta" table topper that combines a festive Mexican print with pieced ocean waves and 4 photos of the different ports we will visit on the cruise.  The center triangles are little pockets that you can tuck messages in from the new friends you meet. It is finished off with your choice of multi-colored prairie points to add some flair or regular  binding for a more conservative look.

Lori Hein Memories of Mexico!  Lori has recreated her very popular memory quilt design from previous Quilt Camp at Sea cruises for this cruise.  Machine piecing will make this an easy quilt to complete and embellishing techniques will make it exclusively YOURS for a last memento of your cruise!
