Fiber Arts

This is another class that lets you reuse and save! In this class you will create several cloth towels, the size of a paper towel. They can be snapped together and placed on a roll to be ready when you need one. Wash and dry and replace on the roll. Pair this class with Janet?s Cloth Napkins class on August 12 and have a coordinating look in your kitchen!

No weaving experience is necessary! You will be making a Rag Rug using recycled fabric. Many colors and designs of fabrics will be available for you to choose from. The looms are dressed and ready to go: all you need to do is bring your creative spirit and you will leave with a finished one-of-a-kind rug that you have designed and woven yourself. Your rug will be 24? wide and can be up to 45? long.

This block is beautiful in two colors or as a scrappy quilt. The Accuquilt system turns this block into a simpler 4 block construction.

AFS UFO Studio, formerly known as Sewing Circle, is an out of this world opportunity for fiber artists to come and complete the UnFinished Objects floating around their home. UFO Studio is free to attend, and though it is non-instructional, peer-to-peer help is always available. All forms of projects are welcome ? bring your unfinished weaving, sewing, embroidery, rug hooking, knitting, crocheting, felting, or any other project that involves fiber handwork. AFS has a couple of sewing machines, small looms, and hand tools available but please feel free to bring your own!

Learning to crochet is a snap! Don't feel intimidated by the lovely creations that you see. You can learn to make them, too. Patricia will help you learn several different stitches as you make something beautiful for your home or a gift. Ages 8 and up. All materials will be provided, but students may bring their own yarn and crochet hook if desired.
