Friday, June 2  2pm - 6pm


$20.00





As a Fantastic Bonus for each class you take with us you will earn a Beautiful Siesta Sterling Silver Charm.  If you attend all 12 you will receive a Graduation Charm also!  Come in the shop to see these, they are so nice.

 

The Corner Beam adds even more unique options to your quilt designs.  The combinations and the twists and turnes makes it look as if the quilter had to work with lots of odd shaped pieces when in fact they did not.  The construction of a Sliver unit advances the use of the Corner Beam and once again makes precise piecing look hard when it is easy.
