Easy, clever construction results in a unique bag with three handy compartments inside and an attractive crossover design outside. In addition to the traditional pattern directions, you may choose to create an inside pocket for your cell phone and/or a zippered pocket on the back. This bag can be made from two complimentary fabrics or double-faced quilted fabric. Read more >
February 26 (Sunday) - 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Instructor: Dana Demers of Spiritual Wilderness Adventures
Drumming workshops are designed to honor the Native American people and the spirit of the material we’re working with. In most cases we offer Elk or Deer hide and Maple or Cedar. As with all workshops, sacred space is created to work in with calling in the directions and honoring of the elements as well as ancestors. The fun of assembling the drums is only exceeded by the fun we’ll have playing them and realizing the gift of spirit after completion. Read more >

Use scrap fabrics (ours or yours) to create quilt tops to warm children in need! We need your help to sew quilts for a wonderful local charity: Blankets for Kids. We will have plenty of scrap material already cut, and some simple but beautiful patterns to design the quilts. All we will need are volunteers to piece them together! Pick up some quilting piecing tips and techniques, hone your skills, hang out with fun folks, and do some good for children in need! Read more >
