Brenda will provide sewing machines, basic materials, and step-by-step guidance. Sample quilts and handouts will also be available to spark ideas and creativity. Whether you’re new to sewing or an experienced quilter, all are welcome. Donations of materials are appreciated to help support the project. No registration required. Questions?
