Approximate finished size 55" x 84" but there are various options on finishing that we will discuss in class.  And Cathy's classes are always so much fun!  So grab a friend and sign up today!  
  And come again on Saturday 7/8 when Cathy Miller will be back, this time teaching her  popular Vintage Spin class from 10am-4pm  $50

Be prepared to learn to sew a flat Dresden and various ways to make a circle to applique onto the center.  She will have her custom AccuQuilt dies available to cut your fans, too!  This quilt is so versatile, made in colors for any holiday or as a scrapbuster to clean out that stash!  And it's always a blast to take a class with Cathy!  So grab a friend and sign up today! 
Bring your machines and projects and come sew with us on Wednesdays!  Every Wednesday is a Free Sew Day from 10am-5pm - no reservation required!  We have cutting tables, ironing boards, tables and a huge design wall in our retreat space ready for you to use!

You can also reserve our space at other times - days or evenings.  Call the shop for availablility at 972-881-7750.  It's a fantastic place for day retreats, guild meetings, or group sew-a-thons!
