Diane Henry:  Little Projects- Big Impact is happening on Saturday, March 5 from 10-1.  It's time to take things down a thousand in size, but crank up the volume of quilting. Small pieces of specialty fabric, scarves, bandanas, or antique linens all have the potential to become beautiful pieces of quilted art. Plus, because they are small, they make great projects to practice designing and quilting ruler work, background fills, micro quilting, echo quilting, feathers, Pro-Stitcher, the sky's the limit! This is a great way to jazz up old table linens for the new year or put them to a totally new use!

Rainbow Bracelets has drawn customer eyes to it since it was first hung.  A 2-1/2" strip set and some background yardage is all you need to complete this stunner.  Oh, and Hilary's class!  Thursday, 1/10 at 10:30am.

Call 301-527-0598 or visit the class calendar page on our website to register for a class, or stop in and see us at the shop. If you are interested in a class, be sure to register for it at least 3 days ahead of time. We reserve the right to cancel classes that have two or less students enrolled in them 3 days before the class. The teachers, many of whom live a good distance from the shop, go through a lot of effort to create and prepare for these classes, and it is not fair to ask them to come to the shop on the day of the class if there are not enough students. If we do cancel the class, you will receive a full refund of the class fee. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
