![]() T–Shirt QuiltHave you ever wanted to take the multitude of T–shirts that we collect and turn them into a wonderful memory quilt? Here is your chance to learn just how. Guest Educator, Gloria Snowman, will teach you how to take the sports, race, souvenir, kids T–shirts and make them into a beautiful T–shirt quilt that you can show off or cuddle up with while remembering all those wonderful moments. This series will be taught in three parts – Planning and Preparing, Creating the Quilt, Finishing and Binding. Prior to the first class you will be sent a list of how to cut your T–shirts at home to prepare them. Each class will teach you and allow you to practice the techniques you will need for you to complete the work on your quilt at home to be prepared for the next step. Pre–requisites include knowledge of machine and basic sewing skills. Note: If this is your first quilt, we recommend you start with a crib or twin size. FeeThis is a 6–hour class (three 2–hour classes). The fee is $120.00 plus supplies. A supply list will be provided upon registration. Schedule
