Look how different these quilts look in different colors - just like the sisters who made them!

KEY TO CLASS LEVELS
Each class description gives a minimum level of skills needed to attend the class. Don’t be intimidated. Most people can knit and add to their skills each time they learn something new. Our classes are planned to build your skills. We try to match the levels with the class as close as possible, but you may be in-between levels or just not sure. Don’t hesitate to ask us if a class would be right for you.
