December Class Schedule Posted. . .

Before we jump into the Christmas season, Sandi and I would like to express our Thanksgiving gratitude to our quilting community for the success of our Open House this past weekend.  It feels wonderful to be accepted and supported by friends, old and new.  Thank you ever so much.

December’s class schedule is largely based on Christmas items to keep to decorate your home and to give to your family and friends.  If you have quilts that need to be quilted for gifts and want to quilt them on our longarm quilting machine, check out the group longarm lesson and then you can schedule the longarm for the day. There are also a few art quilt techniques thrown in to keep the pot stirred.  Please take a peek at what we have to offer on our class schedule.

Blessings,

Karri & Sandi
