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.
