CLASSES
Beginners Patchwork and Quilting starts on Friday July 25th from 10am to 12pm and runs for 6 weeks.
Inner City with Joanne Farmery - Saturday August 2nd 10am to 4pm. This class is perfect if you are looking for a travel project that you can carry with you as the quilt is all hand pieced. Also you will be using your scraps so there is no initial outlay on fabric for this quilt.
