On Saturday Dana will be teaching how to scallop borders for the scallop borders class, you will need to bring a completed quilt top that has been quilted, but not the binding put on. This can be your choice of size down to a large table runner.
For the summer of 2022 we have some exciting teachers coming up from the lower 48.

I am currently contacting teachers for the summer of 2023 and am anticipating some wonderful learning opportunities for our guild. Please contact me if you have any suggestions for teachers you would like to see come and teach.
