Sign up and come on in for Quilt Club -- with a donut as well. Here's your chance to talk about fabrics, patterns completed projects and challenges you have faced during a project. We will provide the fun -- you just come and enjoy.
Have you ever taken a bag class and wanted more information about the process of quilting your fabric and how to do it, more of a deep dive into installing the zipper, and then moving into the construction and the binding application of your bag? This is the class for you! We will be breaking down the skills into a group of 3 classes so when you are done you have a better understanding of the bag making process for all Knot and Thread patterns.
We will be continuing our Software classes during the week for 2025. In fact - we are increasing the material that we will provide each week. For those who have the DesignerPlus version of software, we will be covering features and functions just for you, in addition to lessons for the Creator level of the software.
