Classes
Please join us for one or more of the classes that follow. In
most of these classes, it is only
the quilt top that is being taught. Other classes
for finishing are usually available.
Please keep in mind that projects identified as baby, kids, and lap
quilts can be easily
modified to make bed quilts. Also, the exact fabrics
used in the samples may not be available;
We'll do our best to find something that will be pleasing to
you.
If you don’t already know,
copyright laws prohibit reproducing books and patterns. So, if a
book or pattern is used for a class, purchase is required.
Remember our class policy: Class fees are due at registration.
If you cancel a week prior
to class, a refund will be given. There is a class
minimum of 3 people and cancelled classes
will be refunded.
A housekeeping note – please turn off your cell phone or put it on
vibrate so that classes
are not disrupted.

Stars
Pat $50.00 + supplies

then display and carefully organize
them into small compositions. The delicate panoramic
stars are then clustered beautifully
into a pleasing pattern and sewn. This is not a fast
project, but the transformation of the
pieces will please you.
