Sewing & Quilting

In a day and age of mass production, isn’t it nice to slow down sometimes and make something by hand? If you’ve ever admired a hand-made garment or baby quilt and thought you’d like to try your hand at making one of your own, we’ve got just the ticket: Our sewing and quilting classes are small, instructors are patient, and the results are so worth it! Make a special heirloom to pass down through the generations.
