The purchase of an $8-$13 Digital Pattern is required for this class, it can be found here.

Program Speaker:  Minay Sirois “Bordering: on the Edge of Madness” 

This program takes a look at the various types of borders that can be used on quilts from the very simple to complex pieced, appliquéd or multiple borders.  Through an extensive show and tell of quilts, the idea of which type of border best suits which type of quilt is illustrated.

Workshop - 1 pm - Fee: $30pp  Minay will lead a workshop for us to make a Welsh Style Quilt in which a square center block will be put on point and pieced on the sides. More details later, this topic may change, and we will provide further details later.
