Join fiber artist Anita Piotrowski for a beginner-friendly workshop where you’ll learn the basics of Art Quilting. Art Quilts utilize traditional quilting techniques while emphasizing a decorative design. By the end of the session, you’ll complete a beautiful mini quilt and gain the confidence to continue stitching! 

All supplies will be provided. Registration is required.
