On Saturday, September 16, Tri County’s Block of the Month finalized their quilts! We spent 13 months with our educator Debbie C learning all about various presser feet and specialty techniques. Many of these techniques can be carried over and used to add a bit of extra fun to everyday sewing and quilting techniques.

Flip ‘N Fold Pillow: Tri County

/in , /by

We had such a great group at Tri County for Saturday’s Flip ‘N Fold Pillow Class! Using a fantastic Anita Goodesign design collection, we learned a great in-the-hoop quilting technique that allowed us to create large monograms that appear paper pieced. But it was as simple as folding our fabric over and stitching it down. Then, we turned our quilted monograms into one-of-a-kind pillows! It’s great to see how everyone’s pillow turned out so unique!

We took a lunch-break midday for grilled chicken salad, pizza and lots of sweet treats like cookies and candy. There were some great deals on new items – like the large stabilizers – too!

 

 

 

Sit ‘N Sew: Tri County

/in , /by
This Saturday Luke’s Tri County hosted a fantastic Sit ‘N Sew! Our educator, Laquitta was happy to help our VIP’s with their various projects. We took a break from our busy day for a quick lunch around 1pm, and finished up around 4. Laquitta is a very talented quilter and seamstress – and has a great sense of humor. It’s always great to work with her.
We were also glad to have Ann back! We’ve missed her recently and were excited to see her again – she always described Luke’s as her “Happy Place.” Welcome back!

Sit and Sews are one of our most popular reoccurring events at Luke’s. They’re a great way to get out of the house, meet other Luke’s VIP’s, and get some sewing done! Best yet- they’re FREE. Luke’s educators are always on hand to help you master your machine, offer design advice, and show you how to master new, tricky techniques.

Join us select Saturdays at Luke’s Tri County and Green Township for a day of fun, learning, and new friends!
