One of the most common questions we keep getting is when can we start classes and events? We know everyone is anxious to get back to these things and to see all of their quilting friends. We are watching the guidelines for Colorado & New Mexico VERY closely... and as soon as we get the green light, we will let you know. For now, classes/events will be virtual - read below to find out more!

Just in time for all of your summer sewing projects!

Todd will be showing us what we can do at home to keep our machines happy. They like to be maintained by having the lint cleaned out, and being oiled. Todd's tips will be useful to all of the new sewists that have joined us over the last couple of months. Plus he will share tips and reminders for those that have been sewing for a long time.
