Each class will include a presentation, a mini trunk show illustrating that week’s topic, and hands-on project time. During our 8-week class, we’ll talk about the history of quilting, how to select colors and fabrics, and techniques for piecing quilt tops and quilting them. There will be a celebration in the final ninth week to share our finished pieces.
