Class Schedules

CLASS SCHEDULE- September, October, November, December 2008

In order to hold a class, we must have at least four pre-paid participants registered at least one week prior to the class. If you want to take a class, you MUST sign up in advance so we can order supplies.  Since class fees go to pay your teacher, it is quilt shop etiquette to purchase your supplies at this store so that we can continue to offer classes and provide you with the most up-to-date fabrics and gracious facilities you deserve.
