Block of the Month 2019: Christmas Cheer
Each year, Cynthia designs a new block of the month for the shop. We've done many types of quilts over the years, but never a Christmas quilt. It's long overdue! We'll have 12 quick-lecture classes to make 16 blocks, and then get the fabrics to go home and sew. Please download the newsletter for more info.

Mondays, Sept. 30, Nov. 18, and Jan. 6. To sign up, click here, or call 814-238-4151 between 10-5:30, Monday through Saturday.
