Class Description
Beginner's Start to Finish

If you always have wanted to - or are thinking of making a quilt - come and join us for four relaxing evenings. This class will teach you how to make a quilt from start to finish, including straight-line quilting and binding. This is a true beginner's class.

This is an ideal class for "busy" people -- almost no homework! Also, a good class for a young person who is experimenting to see if he/she enjoys sewing.
