CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
FRIDAY EVENING MINI WORKSHOP:
“English Paper Piecing”
with Merry May - All Levels
This is the kind of project you can put in
little bags and take almost anywhere. The
real lesson here is that little bits of time
add up. Choose to work with hexagons or
diamonds. You can use squares of fabric
for the Hexagons. With the diamonds you
can make Tumbling Block units.
TWO-DAY CLASS (Saturday & Sunday):
“Cat’s Cradle Quilt” with Lorraine Fenstermacher
Confident Beginner & Up* Learn how to make the Cat’s Cradle Block, which
looks like a Split Four-Patch and has many layout possibilities. You can choose
to make the project in multiple sizes, too. Template purchase required. 1
SATURDAY CLASS (full day):
“No Strings Attached!” with Merry May
Confident Beginner & Up* This is one of Merry’s
most popular mystery quilt patterns, only now you can
actually see what it will look like before you make it! Start with a Jelly Roll and a
few 10” squares of light background squares (all different, all the same, or a
mixture of the two). Merry used two “color families” of Yellows and Blues to
make hers, but you can use any combination or theme that makes you happy.
SUNDAY CLASS (half-day):
“Thread Painting” with Merry May
Confident Beginner & Up* Try a new technique as you make
a sample post card. What do you have to lose??? Maybe a piece
of fabric and some thread, right?
* Please see the Insert about Skill Levels included in this mailing.

INSTRUCTORS’ BIOGRAPHIES
Merry May of Tuckahoe, NJ, began making small quilted items for family and friends in the mid-1970s,
not knowing of any quilters in her ancestry at the time. She decided that if she was ever to own a quilt, she
would have to make it herself. Since her humble beginnings (which she attributes to “beginner’s luck”),
Merry has developed a reputation for excellence in teaching quilt making, as well as in quilt history, and
professional development. She has traveled throughout the East Coast of the US presenting lectures,
appraisals and workshops for quilt guilds and quilt shops since 1988. Merry is a founding member and past
President of the State Quilt Guild of NJ. Merry is also a past president of Tri-State Quiltmaking Teachers
(now the Quilt Professionals’ Network). In 2002, 2003, 2006 & 2008 she taught at the Vermont Quilt
Festival, and also for Brother International in 2003. She was nominated by one of her many students for
Professional Quilter magazine’s 2003 and 2008 Teacher of the Year Award. In 2009 she and her former
partner, Linda Hahn co-authored “Insider’s Guide to Quilting Careers,” published by QuiltWoman. Her
work has been published in numerous magazines and books. Merry’s web page is at: http://

Lorraine Fenstermacher, of Pleasant Mount, PA, started quilting in 1989 and has been expanding her
horizons ever since. She has been quilting professionally for 16 years, during which time she has won two
awards for machine quilting. She has taught professionally at Calico N Cotton in Ocean City, NJ, Strobel’s
Sewing Center in Myerstown, PA, and at Jo-Ann’s Fabric in Mays Landing, NJ. She is a Founding
Member of the State Quilt Guild of New Jersey, and holds memberships in the following Guilds: Pleasant
Mount Quilters, South Shore Stitchers, AQS, NQA and QPN (Quilt Professionals’ Network). Lorraine is
currently working on achieving certification as a quilt teacher through the NQA.

quilting projects.
Confident Beginner - someone who is familiar with basic rotary cutting techniques and simple
appliqué.
Intermediate - able to at least complete a wall hanging on their own; is comfortable using
