Quilt Club
Join us once a month for an online meet up of sewing & community, no matter where you live!
On the Second Wednesday of the Month, members will learn how to sew a different quilt technique from the comfort of their own home, while hanging out with like minded friends who love sewing too.
Wednesdays 7-9pm eastern time

Each session offers a different quilt block pattern to work on. Basic sewing knowledge is recommended, but no need to be a pro quilter. We will demonstrate each new technique step by step. We provide the pattern and template, but you'll need to gather your own fabric and sewing supplies.
