NEW Classes!!

Ann-Marie's Classes

Art & Quilt

We have been exploring the design principles used in creating our own quilts. We have been making
12"x 12" blocks to incorporate our ideas. This process has been great fun and has encouraged us to grow in ways we didn't expect.

Thursday, May 3rd and Monday, June 18th
6:30pm to 8:30pm
Cost: free


Fibre Arts Class

Distressing fabric and other types of embellishment such as Tyvec, lutradur etc. It is amazing to see how the look of fabric and other embellishments can be changed when heated. I have several small samples of mini quilts that have distressed embellishments in them so you can see how to include them in quilts.

Saturday, May 26th
1:00pm to 4:00pm
Cost:  Kit - $8.00    Class - $20.00
