Calendar
Please join us for a two hour workshop for exploring your mess making potential and learning how to incorporate mindfulness skills and self-care practice into your creative stitching process. This introductory class is also meant to identify your direction and focus for the New Year and to set a 2020 self-care intention that will support your soul as well as your craft.
Session 1 must be completed before taking session 2. Learn the basics of how to make a quilt. This is a two part class and you need to register for both days.
We have had such an overwhelming request for more 1930's projects, that we are starting the Clothesline Club! We will meet monthly on the 4th Monday of the month from 1-4 pm. Each month we will focus on a 1930's block and it's history. We will also focus on a color of the month and hand out a scrap piece of reproduction fabric, that can be used in the next month's block. You can choose to make the focus 1930's block, or make a different one, using the scrap piece of reproduction fabric. By the end of the year, you will have made a minimum of 12 blocks to add to your 1930's quilt, and when people comment on your quilt, you can tell them a snip-it of history behind each block! Each month there will be show and tell, a teaching technique, history lesson, and time to sew! The cost is $20 for the year and if you bring a block each month for show and tell, you will receive the next month's pattern and color fabric free!
