MEET OUR QUILTING INSTRUCTORS MaryAnn Kwant, owner of the Country Quilterie, opened the "Quilting School" in a little barn behind the Country Quilterie store, in 1994. As class attendance grew, the need for more space, more classes and more teachers resulted in the creation of the Quilting Academy. We now have daytime, evening and weekend classes for all skill levels and forms of quilting. We would love to show you around, and have you observe a class in session. Our staff of expert quilting instructors are the best of the best, with years of quilting experience, in every phase of quilting. Join us at the Quilting Academy, and learn from the masters. |
Quilting Tips From MaryAnn
When making half-square triangles, cut the fabric squares about 1/8 inch larger than called for in the directions and then square them to the correct size after cutting on the diagonal and pressing open. This will give perfectly sized blocks.
If you have trouble threading your needle, placing a piece of white paper behind the eye of the needle makes it much easier to see the opening. |
SHIRLEY
Shirley and her husband David have been married for thirty-three years and have three children and ten grandchildren. She has been quilting for thirty years and is a member of the Quilts for Kids group and the Monroe County Hospice, making memory bears. She has taken classes in stained glass and decorative painting. Shirley's mother Jane, who lives with her and shares her interests, always accompanies Shirley, wherever she goes.

A Quilting Tip From Shirley
Measure once, check twice, then cut. Take your time when you are cutting your fabric and, by checking the second time, you will avoid any missed cuts.
BARBARA
Barbara and Rob, her husband of thirteen years, moved to the Poconos several years ago. As a teenager, Barbara learned dressmaking from her aunt, who was a seamstress. In the 90's, Barbara took a quilting class and got the fever. She has been quilting since. Hand quilting is her favorite part of the process. When Barbara took some classes at the Country Quilterie, she learned to machine quilt, thus being able to turn out more quilts!
A Quilting Tip From Barbara
Before starting a project, I like to wind several bobbins (I use mostly neutral colors) so in the event my bobbin runs out in the middle of a project, I don't have to stop and fill a bobbin.
