Some changes with the classes - Please read first!

SInce offering lessons is new to me, it has been trial and error.  After two months of private lessons being far more popular than class lessons, I have decided to change the format.  Private lessons are still offered at $20 an hour in my studio, for as many hours and as often as you like.  Please contact me from the "Contact Me" page to disucess availablity.  I will give private lessons to students as young as 8, but for classes they must be 10.

The classes have changed.  I will still offer all the same classes that I had previously offered, but now you get to create the class with your friends.  The prices below reflect the cost total for that particular class and the maximum number of students I can accept for that class.  You and your friends may choose to divide the cost among yourselves, but the total amount is due at the start of class.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to arrange a class.  This method actually ends up saving you money if you are able to find friends do to the class with you!

Rag Quilt Class

Rag quilts are fun and easy to make.  Spend an afternoon with me and leave with an almost finished quilt.  The only step you will need to do after leaving me is wash the quilt to give it the "ragged" look.  This project requires just 4 yards of flannel material for a lap sized quilt.  2 yards of each color.  Once you learn how to do it, you can make many to use as gifts or for yourself.  One for each room of your house!
