Pieceful Quilt Academy - Fall '08

From the Extreme Beginning to the Photo Finish, we will teach you how to put together a beautiful quilt and along the way introduce you to a community of wonderful new friends.

The Quilt Academy is a series of classes designed help you learn the basic techniques you will need to make a quilt from start to finish.  The classes are divided into levels so that quilters with different levels of experience can feel free to take any class they want to. 

Classes do not need to be taken in order.
