All the Things Tote class - with Tristen and Jill

This fantastic bag class, featuring All the Things Tote from Knot and Thread, is a great start to learning the ins and outs of bag patterns. In this class, you will learn how to quilt your pieces, assemble the tote and finish it off like a pro.

Tristen and Jill are excited to share all the skills they've gained together with their students. They have an infectious enthusiasm for these techniques, making this a beginning class you don't want to miss!

Sign up for this all-day class, which includes lunch, and settle in for detailed and helpful instruction, two great teachers for the price of one.

Tristen Van Leeuwen has been sewing rainbow since she was a teenager in Home Ec. She loves lettering, Foundation and English paper piecing as well as piecing by machine. She began making bags two years ago and has mastered every technique. She is an awesome teacher and has the best eye for fabric combinations. Her attention to detail makes all her creations amazing. And she's so much fun! She knows all the best treats and is always willing to share. 

Jill McAree began quilting almost 25 years ago but it took her years to get over her fear of curves and triangles. She loves FPP and EPP, applique and embroidery. Two years ago she started making bags and fell in love! She's not afraid to tackle any hard project and loves to learn new things. She has an amazing attitude and believes everyone she loves deserves something handmade.
