Are You Up for a Mystery this Summer?


We've set aside three Saturdays this summer at Spring Water Designs for the Magical Mystery Tour...aka Mary & Heather's Excellent Adventure :)

Each of these three classes are stand alone classes, each with it's own mystery quilt project to make ~ you can come to one or all of them!  The first Mystery class was last Saturday, and each of the adventurous students started with different fabrics after being given clues about value/colors and such...





They were told what to cut, and given some cool tricks on how to sew and cut quickly...


To make Half Square Triangles eight at a time, and tips/tricks on squaring them up quickly.


 ...Everyone was guided in the construction of blocks...





...And then the Big Reveal!  Heather and Mary each showed their version of the quilt.


Mary even had a mini version to show :) 





And Marcia shared her finish with us from the class!


Everyone had a great time on their "Excellent Quilty Adventure", and after all, that's was a Summer Saturday is for...right!

We have two more classes on the Magical Mystery Tour this summer, one this month on Saturday, July 18th, and the last one on Saturday, August 15th.  We still have a couple spots left, so if you'd like to jump in you can check them out Here or call the shop to sign up.  The classes are from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., but then you can stay and sew on your project all afternoon until we close :)

Enjoy the day!
