New Year . . . Time to learn New Skills!
Announcing the Quilting Skill Builder Series at Just Sew in Highland, Utah.
Each time I teach this series it is so gratifying to see quilters grow in confidence as they learn and learn it RIGHT!
The 6 class series will begin on Wednesday, January 22. One class will go from 10 am to Noon and the second class from 7-9 pm.
Hopefully offering a morning and evening class will accommodate most schedules.
In the 6 classes you will complete this table runner with the solid color of your choosing.
