Create a Workshop
September 24th, 2008This is your opportunity to design your own workshop. If there is a particular stitching skill you would like to learn or the timing for a particular class hasn’t worked out, talk to your friends, gather together a group of at least 5 people and we will attempt to set up a date for you. This has been very successful for visiting ladies from out of the local area and though our calendar always seems to be pretty busy, we will do our best to fit in your special event.

Brand New! From Monica Poole - The Seaspray Quilt
September 24th, 2008Monica Poole designs many “quilt as you go” quilts that feature modern and up to date techniques. Seaspray will not disappoint with it’s funky stripes and crazy circles. The panels are pieced and quilted all in the same step and each panel has a different backing fabric which makes the quilt totally reversible.
