–
October 17, 2015

Shelley Greener, a multi-talented local quilter whom many of you may know, will join us in October.
In the morning, Shelley will speak with us about how to choose colors that really make our quilts pop. Her trunk show will clearly demonstrate that she knows how to do that pretty darn well.
In the afternoon, Shelley will teach how the creative uses of thread color and various machine stitches can change our machine appliquéd project from ho hum to whoo hoo!!!!!
