Large Shaker Oval Boxes

In this advanced class, experienced students will have the opportunity to work on Large Shaker Oval Boxes. Construction steps and hardware application will be demonstrated, and all participants will put their hands-to-work on their own projects. Students will become familiar with construction techniques as they complete their projects. These projects have a firm place in Shaker history as they were a very popular offering to "The World's People" by Shaker craftsmen. With Shaker inspired elegance these are sure to become instant heirlooms!

Hunter Star

Adirondack Folk School 51 Main St., Lake Luzerne

This block shines as a two-color quilt or becomes quite playful when designed as a scrappy quilt. You will create enough blocks to construct a 40? x 40? lap quilt, wall hanging or table topper. The blocks created in the block party classes will be cut using the Acuquilt cutting system. This system improves accuracy in cutting and reduces the stress on your hands often felt while cutting large amounts of small units of fabric for the quilt blocks.

Finishing Touches for the Handweaver

Many handwoven patterns look best with traditional hemstitching. Four styles of hemstitching will be taught in this class. A technique known as overcasting adds a classic look to towels and table runners. The techniques you learn can be used on future projects for both floor loom and rigid heddle looms.
