During the guild general meeting, there are short, approximately 30-minute demonstrations. This complimentary event uses visual examples accompanied by an explanation of a quilting topic.
Classes require a minimum of seven (7) participants.
Our guild schedules classes following the general meeting. For a minimal fee you can learn quilt-related skills. The Pagosa Bible Church in Pagosa Springs at 209 Harman Park Drive hosts these programs.
Sign up for classes at the monthly meetings or email Susan Stephenson at pagosapiecemakers@gmail.com. Supply list links appear with each class when available. Check the calendar often for class offering changes.
