This is the continuation of Sewing for Beginners. You must have taken Sewing for Beginners I to register for this class.

About Lori: Lori got started sewing because her daughter wanted a quilt when she was in kindergarten after she had heard a story about a quilt. She was 5 years old. She’s been sewing ever since, for over 15 years! Lori also loves being able to share her knowledge of sewing with beginners who are just starting out as well as others who are learning new tricks of the trade. “Teaching the correct way to use sewing machines to create clothing, display items used for decoration and practical items to use around the house or to give as gifts is such a rewarding experience.”

The new Watercolor Palette fall/early winter session will be focusing on color, color, color!!  This session will be for those of you who are intermediate painters.  We will be coming together, opening to a new page of cold-press paper, filling our jars with fresh water, and selecting a brush with a graceful tip.  Expect to be sitting together with like-minded painters, listening and laughing and admiring each other’s watery blobs with unexpected results!!  Going along with the season, we will focus on late fall/early winter colors and use our skills to create our own works of art.

10/22, 10/29, 11/19, 11/26, 12/3 and 12/10.
