The following photographs were taken at a recent quilting class. Look how fun and easy it is to create a wall quilt of your very own! (Class members included experienced and first-time quilters; each completed their own Tall Timber Christmas Stocking for the holidays.)
Class members have fun together, share stories, and build a complete quilt project in a morning or afternoon session.
Useful tools include a sewing machine, cutting mat, iron--and lots of smiles.
This first-time quilter has just finished her first quilt block. Way to go!
Quilting in a group setting gives students a chance to share their ideas and receive support and encouragement from each other. Spend the day with friends and then display your new creation at home!
