In this class the student works on a quilt of their choosing, at their skill level, getting assistance when needed. All that is required is the project comes from the shop. If you see it hanging in the shop, chances are you can make it. Think about your skill level and the difficulty of the project when selecting a quilt pattern for this class.

I like to stop at this shop when I’m in the area. The space is tight but they’ve got a lot to offer. Helen and Linda are great - super friendly and very helpful. A beautiful selection of batiks. I bought a kit and Linda took the time to review the project with me and gave me some help in how to start this large project. Also, a Janome dealer. I bought a sewing table for my Janome and couldn’t be happier.

Very nice quilt shop; they also sell sewing machines. Fabric selection is well organized. Very pretty fabrics. This shop has space downstairs for classes. It is well lit and has large tables to sew on. I believe you can rent the space out for sewing groups. The owners are very knowledgeable and helpful. Plenty of parking.
