FRIDAY EVENING MINI WORKSHOP:
“20-Minute Checkbook Cover” with Merry May - All Levels
All Levels Here is a quick & easy project to get you charged up for the rest of
the weekend. Once you get the hang of it, it can actually be done in about 20
minutes. Imagine decorating the outside of your checkbook cover with a machine
embroidery design, too! For now we’ll just use regular fabric. Pretty soon you
won’t be able to stop making them!
SATURDAY CLASSES (full day):
“Wow! Bag” or “Wow! Juniors” with Mary Beth Scarborough
Confident Beginner & Up* You won’t believe how wonderful these bags are!
Mary Beth designed them several years ago, and has been teaching classes on them
ever since. They look like a regular ol’ tote bag, but THEN you reach inside and pull
the lining out, and voila! it turns into a duffel bag that is twice as big as the tote bag!
Wow! A walking foot is recommended. Pattern purchase
from Instructor is required.
!
“Groovy! Quilt” with Merry May
Confident Beginner & Up* It’s modern and unique, plus you get to sew very gentle
curves. Choose four shades each of two colors and you’re on your way to a brand new
quilt top! Don’t worry, Merry’s instructions will guide you through assembling the
blocks using only one pin, then you will square them up to the perfect size. She also
has a chart showing the exact combinations of fabrics to help lay out the blocks.
!
“Hollyhock Garden Quilt” with Lorraine Fenstermacher
Confident Beginner & Up* Use reproduction or vintage
1930s fabrics (or not!) to make this charming lap-sized quilt with a small (6”) 60degree triangle ruler. Or, start on the queen-sized version here and complete it on
your own at home. Book & ruler purchase required. 1
!!
SUNDAY CLASSES (half-day):
“A Little Somethin’ Jacket” with Lorraine Fenstermacher
Confident Beginner & Up* Although this pattern has been out for awhile, we think it
has a great look, and is flattering on just about everyone. It’s a quick, easy pattern, and
Lorraine will help you so you can (hopefully!) wear it home. Pattern purchase required. 1
!
“Folded Star Hot Pad” with Merry May
All Levels* If you have been wanting to do a folded star, here’s
your chance! The printed interfacing foundation makes the layout of the folded Prairie
Points really easy! The many layers of fabric, plus a layer of InsulBright makes it heat
proof, too. They are great hostess gifts for the holidays, and quick to make! Pattern
purchase required. 1
* 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 quiltmaking, as well as in quilt history, and
development. She has traveled throughout the East Coast of the US presenting lectures,
!!professional
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
the Quilt Professionals’ Network). In 2002, 2003, 2006 & 2008 she taught at the Vermont Quilt
!!(now
and also for Brother International in 2003. She was nominated by one of her many students for
!!Festival,
Professional Quilter magazine’s 2003 and 2008 Teacher of the Year Award. Merry’s web page is at: http://
!!www.merrymayhem.com
!!!Lorraine Fenstermacher, of Pleasant Mount, PA, started qulting in 1989 and has been expanding her
ever since. She has been quilting professionally for 16 years, during which time she has won two

!!awards
Sewing Center in Myerstown, PA, and at Jo-Ann’s Fabric in Mays Landing, NJ. She is a Founding

!!Mount
currently working on achieving certification as a quilt teacher through the NQA.
!!!
Beth Scarborough, of Salisbury, Maryland, owns Dusty Attic Quilting Shop in Fruitland, MD, and
!!isMary
the “inventor” of her unique “Wow!” Bags patterns. Mary Beth has been teaching classes at MAQ (Mid!!Appalachian Quilters) for many years. MAQ is a huge quilting conference - no quilt show, just classes - in
Maryland. It takes place in mid-July each year, and is like “quilt camp” on a college campus. We
