We would love to have you join this workshop for these adorable placemats taught by Certified Quiltworx Instructor Michele Everts. Get the expert help of a Certified Instructor from the comfort of your home! We have kits in multiple colorways or choose your own fabric.


Michele will walk you through the process of making these beginner-friendly African Violet Placemats, sharing tips and tricks she has learned in her years of experience.  The online classes will provide instruction, allow for Q&A, and will also allow for replay as they are recorded.

Please note that all classes and recordings are for the student's use only, NO exceptions.  Any student found breaking this rule is immediately removed from the class.  No Certified Instructors may take this class.

This class takes place ONLINE in a virtual ZOOM format, NOT at our Sweet Home Quilting Classroom. Access will be provided to the Zoom platform prior to the start of class.
