Wed & Thurs Class - "Christmas All Over the World". **This is a 2-day class** Supply List Here. Mary Lou’s favorite subject often is Christmas and she makes one new Christmas Wall hanging yearly. She will bring ideas for developing the perfect Christmas quilt for your wall or the wall of someone in your family. You have your choice of small or large and you will get a handout of patterns and ideas to develop into a one of a kind, original quilt to bring out year to year.

Sat Class - "Flower Power". Supply List Here. This class is based on Mary Lou’s new book “Flower Power.” These blocks are pieced blocks done Hoochy style (uses 4” strips of fabric to make wonderful traditional blocks wonky and fun) and made into great wall hangings and quilts. Then when they are done, you have the option of adding buttons for centers and eyes and other fun things in the garden. These quilts have a “WOW” factor and are loads of fun to do and to enjoy making. See what creativity, color and exploring design can do for a great quilt!
