Workshop : "Meet Me at the Corner of Topsy and Turvy: Welcome to Wonky Town"

Member Fee: $40          Non-Member Fee: $45

If you are a buttoned-down perfectionist who longs to let your hair down and leave the rules and rulers behind, this may be the workshop for you. It’s a wonky log cabin house block, in which uneven strips and uncommon structures live together under one roof to make a fast and fun, scrap-buster, quilt-in-a-day wallhanging.

According to one of her quilting students,  “Barbara’s ‘super power’ is the relaxed, non-judgmental learning environment she creates.  Encouraging us to ask questions, share our own ideas and providing helpful feedback are the three pillars of her classes.”
