Pillow Talk - Pumpkin
Pumpkin Pillow — From Pillow Talk by Laundry Basket Quilts
Add a little handmade warmth to your fall décor with this charming Pumpkin Pillow from Edyta Sitar’s Pillow Talk book by Laundry Basket Quilts!
In this class, you’ll create a beautiful seasonal pillow featuring a classic patchwork pumpkin—perfect for welcoming autumn into your home. We’ll work through the applique and construction techniques needed to bring your pumpkin to life, with plenty of tips along the way to help you achieve crisp, accurate results.
This is a wonderful project for playing with those gorgeous fall fabrics—think warm oranges, rich golds, earthy greens, and cozy neutrals—or give your pumpkin a completely different personality with fabrics that match your own décor.
Whether it ends up on your favorite chair, tucked onto the sofa, or given as a handmade gift, this is one pumpkin you’ll be happy to bring out year after year!

Class Passport
We always try to have a diverse class schedule that has something for everyone. To help you take advantage of the variety of classes on our schedule, we offer a class passport to all prospective students. We have three class passports each year, each for a specific class session. Passport 1 covers February-May classes, Passport 2 covers June-September classes, and Passport 3 covers October-January classes. The cost of each passport is $169. Once you purchase the passport, you can take as many passport-eligible classes as you would like for free within that class session. Most of our classes are passport eligible, but please refer to the class details before you sign up to ensure it is passport eligible. This is a great way to expand your quilting skills and knowledge as well as ensure you have dedicated sewing time throughout the class session.

Class Guidelines
Emma’s Quilt Cupboard & Sewing Center maintains a strong commitment to education and expanding your quilting skills and knowledge. Because of this, our promise to you is to NEVER cancel a class, regardless of the number of people who have signed up.
Emma’s Quilt Cupboard & Sewing Center offers a 10% discount for all project classes (excludes weekly or ongoing classes). This discount applies to all fabric, books/patterns, and class-specific supplies that you purchase for class (i.e., specialty rulers). Basic sewing supplies and tools are not included.
Please note that we have a refrigerator and microwave in the shop’s kitchen. Feel free to use them for your lunch or snack.
You will only be “officially” signed up for a class when payment has been received. You can sign up for a class on the website, over the phone, in person at the shop, or by mail, using a credit card, cash, or check.
Our goal is to provide sufficient time during class for you to complete your class projects or to learn a specific technique. However, please remember that some classes may require homework or “catch up” for less-experienced quilters.
A supply list will be provided for each class. Please have your fabrics and supplies assembled/purchased before the class so that we may start on time. Anyone at the shop will be happy to help you with your fabric selections if you would find that useful. Basic supplies for a quilting class include a sewing machine, cutting mat, rotary cutter, ruler, and basic sewing kit (scissors, seam ripper, pins, etc.).
Each student must have a legal copy of the class pattern or book to participate. No photocopies or sharing of books or patterns is allowed in class to ensure we do not violate any copyright laws.
Refunds for classes will be given with a minimum of 1-week’s advance notice. Should you withdraw from a class with less than 1-week’s notice, we will issue a store credit, providing we receive at least 24 hours’ notice.
Please note for all machine classes: please bring your sewing machine in good working order and be familiar with its basic functions (e.g., threading the machine, changing the needle, needle position adjustment, and stitch length). While we will do our best to help you with any problems, we are not familiar with all machines. Therefore, it is important that you have a thorough working knowledge of your machine. Remember your foot pedal and power cord!
Please turn off your cell phone, pager, or other electronic devices. If you must take a call, please leave the classroom to do so.
Many people are allergic to fragrance. Please refrain from wearing perfume to class.
