We also have a Beginning Piecing 101 class with sessions starting on Thursday, September 15th at 1pm & Saturday, September 17th at 11 am.  This is a 3 part class teaching the following skills and techniques: pattern reading, cutting, pressing, ruler techniques, piecing, and borders.  This class is free with Beginning Piecing Kit purchase.  Kit must be purchased prior to registering for class.  Kit sizes vary.  Visit store for details.

Rag Rug Class

For those of you wondering when our next Rag Rug Class is going to be held; it will be August 12th at 1:00 pm.  This is an excellent project for those "Why did I buy this?" fabrics. 
This is a 3 hour class.  We ask that you register and recommend that you pick up your supply list no later than 1 week prior to class.   This way you will have time to do the prep work.      

Just look at the gorgeous rug that one of our students brought in after taking the class.

Great job Mary!

Here is a closer look.  Just beautiful.
