Enrich your week with BJ’s special events!

W15  Memories Party & Hors d’oeuvres with Helene Knott                                          6-9pm

It’s party time! Bring your show and tell “Memories” from previous years of Festival workshops. We encourage you to bring completed and uncompleted past Festival projects; we all want to enjoy your creative efforts. In addition, bring twelve 6” charm squares of your choice. Helene Knott will be presenting “Charm Square Round Robin” and “Block Name Puzzlements” for your enjoyment. Of course, there will be prizes. Another fun and laughter-filled evening. It’s Party Time!!  

R15  “Mystery of the Night” Mystery class with Linda Ballard                                  6-9:30pm

Are you ready for a fun night of piecing? What will it be? Can I finish it tonight? Of course the answers will be revealed only as you work this evening. It’s a great quilt with easy piecing and good techniques. The quilt works in all kinds of fabric selections: theme fabrics, designer groups, etc. You’ll be looking for a light, medium and a dark fabric.  

F15  Buffet Dinner and Lecture with Sue Bouchard from Quilt In A Day             6-9:30pm

“Journey along the Underground Railroad”  Combine Civil War history and quilts from another era. Learn how twelve simple quilt blocks may have played a significant role of communication between American slaves in their quest for freedom. Gather your “monkey wrench”, hop onto the “wagon wheel” and follow the “bears’ paw” trail through the mountains to gather safely at the “crossroads”. Bring your family and friends for a relaxing evening of food and fellowship, surrounded by the beauty of quilts and fiber arts from all the faculty members. This is an adventure you’ll not want to miss.
