Instructor Jennie Ingram will introduce students to commonly
used quilting terms, helpful tools like rotary cutters and mats,
and heat proof materials used in sewing items like potholders.
Then, students will use their sewing machines to both piece and
quilt their quilt block at the same time. Finally, students will bind
their pieces to have a pair of finished potholders by the end of class.
$80/person. Register here.
