Did you ever want to learn how to make a quilt? We are excited to announce that we now have a beginner friendly class (3 hours each) in which you will create a 42”X 42” baby or lap quilt top. We will take you through the process of cutting out and machine piecing three simple block styles to construct this lovely quilt designed by our instructor, Lesley Chandler.
Class is 7 hours. Class is held in Studio 110, righ tnext to our main Studio. Class is $80. Supplies are required (See below). Book now (Our refund policy is below.)
Note: We will not quilt or bind your quilt top in this series of classes, though we will discuss different techniques for quilting and binding your quilts. We also offer separate classes for binding and we have a Longarm Certification class so that you would be able to rent one of our the longarms for machine quilting. Or you can bring your finished quilt to us and we will quilt for you.

–Backing: 1 and a half yards of the regular width (45”) fabric (or) 1 yard of wide backing (108”).
