Embroidery Club  Cindi Luther, instructor.  2026 is bringing us a new adventure.  Our project for the year is the Kimberbell Mistletoe Mystery Quilt. The Mystery Quilt: Mistletoe Mystery is a fun and engaging 12-month project! Each month, you will make several blocks for the quilt. In the final month (December 2026), you will assemble all the components into a festive 32 x 50" wall quilt.  There are background quilting designs to stitch in the hoop while embroidering the block so in the end, all you have to do is back it, stitch in the ditch and bind. Open to all brands of embroidery machines as long as you know how to operate the machine. We meet on the second Saturday of the month (excluding February and June).  9:30-12:30, $15.00 per lesson, or $180.00 for the year and a bonus block will be included.  Next session is May 9, 2026.

January's block is pictured on the left. 

Pinpoint Placement  Cindi Luther Instructor  Have you purchased a Bernina Plus or PRO machine and don't know how to use those great features?  This class will address pinpoint placement and how you can benefit from using it.  We will stitch a design on a cotton tea towel using 2 point placement, and you will be amazed how straight it will be without using your templates! Then we will stitch out a sample of 4 point placement so you can learn how easy it is to stitch a design in perhaps a quilt block and have it fit even if your square isn't perfectly square.  Next class will be scheduled in 2026, 9:30-12:30. $15.00
