Classes

Jen is passionate about sharing her love of quilting with others. There’s nothing more satisfying then hearing, “Ohhhhh, I get it” in the middle of a class. Her philosophy is to explain her techniques and methods multiple times and in different ways without prompt because she knows that people are often timid about asking questions. She’s encouraging and hands on; you can often find Jen ironing for her students so they can get the most out of their time in a class and sew more for example. Additional Classes and lectures are offered. Please contact Jen for the full list of offerings.
