At last, the sunny, longer days make us hopeful that spring is really going to come! It also encourages us to finish up the projects and to start some new ones.

The Introduction to Quilting class begins on Wednesday, March 8^th. This class will teach you the basics of quilt making from start to binding. The project is small, unless you want more homework, so that it can be completed by the end of the class.

Knotty Girls, Friday, March 10^th, will feature card making. There will be a kit with all the supplies for the project. As this class is full, there will be a second Card Making Workshop on Tuesday, March 28^th. Don’t wait to sign up!

On Friday, March 24^th, there is a workshop when Jane will have lots of ideas on how to turn a panel into an art quilt or wall hanging. Most quilters have one or more panels in the stash waiting for inspiration. Dig them out and come to be inspired!

Hopefully Landscape, on Friday March 17^th, will not be snowed under this month. Lunch will feature Irish Stew, bring something to go with it!

Don’t forget Finishing School is a fun time to work on your own project. Just drop in, no need to sign up.

Happy Quilting!

Join us for something new!

The Card making workshop, March 10 is now full! A second class has been added on Tuesday, March 28, from 11:30-1:30pm. The kit is supplied. Cards are hand done.
