Learn to Quilt!



Class Description

We are excited that you’re interested in becoming a quilter! Join us in the Embellish classroom to embark on your quilting journey as you construct a 60” x 60” sampler quilt. Each week during this 5-session class, you will learn the terminology, skills, and techniques to become a confident quilter. Quilting has evolved from your grandmother’s time; tools and rulers have been developed to improve accuracy and speed. Breaks have been built into the class schedule to allow time for catch up and homework.

Five Week Class, Starting on Saturday Apr 6, 12:30 – 4:30

Please see our Class Guidelines and Policies before registering.
