We all know you've got a big old jar or box--or maybe a treasure chest chock-full of buttons.

After all, whether buttons are functional or purely decorative, they're the perfect accents for everything you make.

Class QC031 - Confused Wells - Cinzia White
Fed up with all of those leftover scraps lying around… too small for anything really but too big to throw out. Well Confused Wells is your answer. Made using strips and quick piecing techniques this is the perfect solution. In fact the more scraps the better. Any scrap bigger than 1in by 9in is usable. Confused Wells is a generous 56in x 72in but it is easy to change the final size to suit your needs and your scraps.

Class QC035 - Crazy Bag - Chris Hammacott
An ideal bag to impress at the next workshop! Holding all you need with pockets for rotary cutter and sundries. The technique uses crazy patchwork combined with sashing for a real 'one of' look. The class will also look at re-sizing to use the technique for other shape/ size bags. Of course when not used for workshops the bag is big enough for everyday shopping and brilliant for vacations.

Class QC037 - Designing with Monkey Wrench - Sue Beevers
This class has been designed with an intermediate to advanced student in mind, and is based upon an article that I did for the 40th Anniversary Edition of "Quilters Newsletter". I sure hope that you like to piece - a lot - because that's what you'll be doing. You will be making at least two quilts, and will be getting ideas for zillions more. Actually, by the time you're done with this class, you may be convinced that you will do nothing but Monkey Wench based quilts for the rest off your quilting life.

Class QC038 - Basics of EQ7 - Bonnie Heap
Are you tired of cutting fabric for a quilt and when you sew it together you hate the way it looks? By using EQ7, you never have to cut your fabric first to see if you like your fabric combinations. Just load your fabrics into the program and see how they look with out any cutting. Make your own designs to create that perfect quilt.

Class QC040 - Stained Glass: Three Circles - Mary Marcotte
In this class you will learn the basics of creating a stained glass quilt. We will use a method I created after making several stained glass quilts in the traditional way. Rather than pin together the "glass shards" then adding the leading, we will quilt the "glass" down before adding the leading, or black lines that complete the quilt. This method does two things: it allows us to easily add the finishing touches and stabilizes the quilt top so that it looks better for a longer time. This process is much easier than the traditional way of making stained glass quilts.
