One "Potter County Pine Tree" block. Combine to make a quilt top.

·        WHAT? Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild Mini-Retreat!

·        WHEN? April 9, 2022 (Saturday)

·        WHERE? First Presbyterian Church Hall, Wellsboro, PA

·        TIME? 9:00 a.m.– 3:00 p.m.  (Doors open at 8:30 to set up.)

·        PROJECT? We will learn how to make at least one “PINE TREE” block used to make the Potter County Pine Tree Quilt! (Demonstration with Marcia Newcomb!)

·        COST? $15.00(includes pizza/water for lunch!) Feel free to bring snacks to share if you like.

·        MATERIALS? One jelly roll of your choice and approximately 2 yards of background fabric to make 12

·        Pine Tree Blocks (each measuring 16 ½” x 15”).  And of course… your sewing machine and personal sewing belongings needed to sew.  Small cutting mat, rulers and cutter, small iron and pressing mat,extension cord, light, a seat cushion (?) and anything else you think you might need.

Marcia recommends a new needle (80/20) Universal and a ruler with a 45 degree marking on it. 

Please note:  If you would rather use fabric yardage instead of a jelly roll, bring ¼ yard of fabric for your tree and another ¼ yard of background fabric for each tree block.

Marcia mentioned that participants could probably finish at least 3 PINE TREE blocks at the Mini-Retreat!

Enjoy a day of sewing with guild members and learn how to make a PINE TREE block, too!  And, maybe finish a POTTER COUNTY PINE TREE pillow or wall hanging!

 Also, lunch and door prizes to round out our day! We will have a table set up for “free” stuff! If you have quilting/sewing books/supplies/fabrics, etc., that you would like to offer up for free, please bring them to the workshop!
