There is still room to get into the April Workshop. Register Now for best availability.
On Friday, April 15, Karen will conduct a class on creating a sweet home décor pillow with some simple piecing, a little quilting, and some (optional) wool embellishments. What’s awesome is that we can make two pillows with just one jelly roll and some added yardage. Find all the information on our website: http://wiltwyckquilters.org/guild-events/
As a member of the Wiltwyck Quilters’ Guild you have first dibs on a place in this and any other workshop offered by the guild. As of April 1st the registration will open up to non-members. Get your place now and register before the 1st.
The class will be a full day workshop at the Grace Church, from 9:30 – 4:00. There will be a $20 workshop fee for members, $25 for non-members.
Quilters Dream and Door Prizes
Karen Miller loves Dream Wool and suggests it for use in our April Pillow Top project. Thanks to the efforts of Marie G. Quilters Dream will be providing 4 throw-size batting packs which can be cut up to provide enough of the 16” x 30” piece of batting needed for the project for everyone taking the class.
In addition, they are sending sample cards for all the Guild members and some door prizes! How wonderful is that?
