What to Expect

This standalone skill class meets on Sunday, February 8th, from 1–4pm. Gayle, our instructor, will guide you through each step of foundation paper piecing using demonstrations, guided instruction, and hands-on practice. Fabrics will be available to use, or you can bring your own quilting cotton.

For those who want extra time to continue working on their blocks, ask questions, or quilt alongside others, we will also offer a separate Quilt-Along session later in the month. This optional follow-up meets on Sunday, February 22, 1–4pm, and is ticketed separately at $10 ($8 for members).
