CLASS DESCRIPTIONS FRIDAY EVENING MINI WORKSHOP: 20-Minute Table Runner with Merry May - All Levels Very easy are the only words we can think of to describe this project. Its original name was the 10-minute runner, but we ll give you a little more time so you won t feel rushed! If you have an embroidery machine, you could embellish the center of it. We ll also show you how to make it into a big gift envelope/bag. SATURDAY CLASSES (full day): Grids & Grommets Bag with Lorraine Fenstermacher Confident Beginner & Up* Fun and easy to make, we even have the grommets for the bag, so you don t need to chase them down. This is a nice, big, heavy-duty bag that can handle pretty much anything you throw at - or in - it. Pattern purchase required. 1 Spider Web Quilt with Merry May Confident Beginner & Up* Got scraps???? Start using them up with this classic design. Merry s sample has blocks that are 20 square, so your scraps will go a long way! Ruler purchase required. 1 SUNDAY CLASSES (half-day): Gathered-Back Top & Tunic with Lorraine Fenstermacher Confident Beginner & Up This is an easy pattern, and it flatters every figure.

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 and Canada 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 (later 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://www.merrymayhem.com 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).
