Every month we hold a quilt camp - most of these are 3 days long. You can work on any project you would like. Or we will have a mystery for you.

Here’s how it works—Bring in everything you need, set up your station, sew to your hearts content, have a little lunch, talk to a few friends, have a snack , sew some more. Repeat the next two days. You don’t have to answer the phone, do the laundry, let the dog out or anything else you don’t want to do. I will provide lunch & snacks. The cost is only $25.00. Nov. 3,4,5 & 27,28 and Dec 28, 29 & 30. We will have kits for all mysteries.

 

We plan on having an event every 2—3 months so make sure we have your contact information. The next event will be the OH-Mi Shop Hop Feb. 25, 26 & 27.
