Our
classes are taught in our own classrooms by a number of highly
trained professionals with several years experience, who have
learnt using the methods of patchwork gurus Mary Ellen Hopkins
and Kaye England.
Our classes cater for both beginner and advanced quilters.
We have a minimum of four students, with a maximum of eight
per class.
If you are interested in one of our classes, but the day
or time does not suit you, contact us for alternative dates.
We vary our classes throughout the year to suit your needs.

This deposit is non-refundable after 7 days prior to the commencement
