Join us for a fun week of learning to quilt. This class has been chosen to challenge students age 9 and above to create a lap size railroad pattern quilt from start to finish in one week. Students will first learn how to use their machines and how to stitch a straight 1/4” line. Next the students will create their quilts tops. Our educator will be handling rotary cutting for those not ready to use a rotary cutter. Students will piece their quilt back and build their quilt sandwich. Each student will be asked to visit the store before the first day of class to purchase their fabrics, meet our educator, review the supply list and safety guidelines.

Supply List:
Fabric: 3 colors - 3/4 yard each
