This one-day class will teach you how to finish the edges, an important final step in the quilt making process.
Because this is a class for those with some previous quilting experience, participants must know how to sew a 1/4 inch seam and must have a working home machine.

Are you interested in some stimulating conversation? Would you like to gain a deeper understanding of the Bible? Come join us as we will delve into the Old Testament!
In this six-week course, participants will explore parts of the Old Testament, also known as the first convenant. The class includes an introduction to the books in the Old Testament, the Ten Commandments, the major and minor prophents, and several major historical events. We will also examine a few well-known Bible stories and learn more about the prophets involved.
At the end of the course, students will walk away with a basic knowledge of the Old Testament without being steered into a specific denomination.
To eliminate confusion about translations, the King Jame Bible is the translation that will be used in this course.
