As former classroom teachers, Pam, Kathy, and Deb love working with youngsters! We will do a little hand sewing, a little "crafting", and a little machine sewing. As a general rule, students entering 4th grade are ready for the types of projects we will do. If your child is younger, talk to us. Older children, of course, are welcome. We will meet daily Monday through Thursday, July 14 - 17.

Curves and batiks: a great combination! This pattern by Cara Gulati uses both to create a vibrant quilt with motion. We will do this in a Friday night/Saturday session. Come Friday night and color sort and cut out. Return Saturday morning to begin assembly. This class isn't for beginners, but the curves are easier than many quilts I have done. $45 includes a light lunch on Saturday. View a photo of the quilt in "Shop with Us" tab under Periwinkle Potpourri or visit the designers website.
