We are excited to announce a series with local quilter extraordinaire, David Taylor, this summer. Even if you don’t know the name, you’ve likely seen his work. His pictorial quilts have been featured and awarded in national and international shows for years. He will kick off this series with a lecture presentation all about what he does, and how he does it. The next three classes will get hands-on with technique and quilting, beginning and advanced. You don’t want to miss this, sign up early as the hands-on classes will have limited seats.Check out his work here https://davidtaylorquilts.com/.
