Debbie will walk us through the steps of making a quilted throw and a table runner.  She will provide kits containing all the fabric you need for these projects.  (If you prefer to use your own fabric, please contact us so we can provide the supply list.  It is important to have the pieces cut before the workshop.) Please bring your own sewing machine and sewing supplies.   Saturday night, listen to the stories and history contained in treasured quilts at a community Quilting Show and Tell.
