Special Events & Classes
Friday Night Sewing Circle
We are returning to the format we have followed for many years by picking a skill or theme. Everyone may choose their own project within that parameter and create their own individual quilt. This year we will concentrate on curved piecing and, in particular, patterns from Elisa’s Back Porch. Learn to sew smooth curves for several different block styles and sizes and combine them for a unique project. Ask or click here for supply list. *Sewing machine optional. 10 sessions, $100
