Winter–Spring 2015 Class and Event Schedule

I have a new slate of classes and workshops available for the coming months—I'll update this post as more dates are set. I'm teaching everything from beginning quilting and embroidery to a yarnbombing workshop with the Buttonwoods Museum in Haverhill, Massachusetts in conjunction with a special community project they are hosting. I'm also really looking forward to the "slow sewing" quilting course coming up with J.P Knit & Stitch as we're going to be learning how to make a small wall quilt by hand from start to finish and talk about awesome things like mindful design, color theory, and the "slow sewing" movement!!

Links for more details, materials lists, and registration is included for each below as it becomes available. Hope to see you there!
