Join us for a hands-on class where creativity meets sustainability! In Sustainable Scrap Quilting, you’ll learn how to transform fabric scraps from our shop into a cozy quilt that will keep you or a loved one warm. This class is a great way to recycle fabric pieces that would otherwise end up in a landfill, while gaining essential quilting skills.�What to Expect
Students will start by selecting from a variety of donated fabric scraps and learn how to cut, arrange, and piece them together to create a unique quilt top. Once the quilt top is completed, you’ll discover how to layer it with batting and a backing fabric, and join these layers through basic quilting techniques. By the end of the class, you’ll leave with a completed quilt and a new understanding of sustainable crafting!
*** This workshop happens over two consecutive Sundays: August 24th & August 31st.***
