Sue
Wilson, from Quiltworx is returning this fall for a 6-session workshop on the Mariner’s
Compass quilt top designed by Judy Niemeyer. The dates are October 11th and
12th and again on October 25th and 26th and then it will finish on Nov. 22nd
and 23rd.
A
new technique will be taught each day while making this pattern, which prepares
you to tackle any Quiltworx pattern in the future. This pattern is exclusive to
certified Quiltworx instructors and certified shops and not available to
purchase without
participating in the workshop.
The
cost of the workshops is $150.00 total and each workshop will run from

lunch or order one in from a downtown restaurant (menus are available at the
shop).
