*Learn basic quilt piecing. Please call or stop into the shop to sign up & for details.

*Beginning Inkle Weaving – September 19^th 10 – 12 $45.

Sewing bands together opens up still more possibilities. This beginning workshop covers selecting yarns; selecting, warping and weaving on an inkle loom; books; and project possibilities. A floor model-type inkle loom and yarn will be provided. Participants should bring with them: scissors capable of cutting yarn and note-taking materials.
