Join us for quickie demonstrations on a variety of sewing and embroidery techniques. This is informal, you do not need to pre-register, come when you can or on the spur of the moment. If you are coming for an evening class- stop at the sew center first! Bring a friend- visit the quilt shop or shop in our great downtown! The demonstrations will be repeated throughout the day at 10 am, 1 pm, and 6 pm. Best of all, they are FREE!
