Michael has 2 quilts in this year's exhibit - of very different styles, but both created to commemorate or honor a lifetime of memories or a special trip and culture. Jerry also has 2 quilts in the exhibit, again of very different designs - but each with a special story. Come and enjoy learning how each man is inspired and their processes to work through the creation process and then the finishing of their amazing quilts.

Spring BREAK offers fun times for Kids and Adults to work together on projects. Bring your favorite Kiddo and enjoy creating from unusual materials - such as Coffee Bags collected from local Coffee Houses! Or CORK or Vinyl. Make a tote, wallet or bitty bag and learn how easy they are. See various embellishments that can be done - so you can go make more fancy ones where your imagination is the only limit. SPRING BREAK offers DIFFERENT Projects each day. Sign ups are for each day - doing the project stated for the day. See Samples in the Shop.
