Crazy Quilting Class

April 18, 2026 at the Glenville Senior Center

10am – 2pm

 

                                                                 

 

Chapter members Sandie Feck and Maggie Oldendorf will be holding a crazy quilting class at the Glenville Senior Center on Saturday, April 18 from 10-2. All interested members are welcome to attend! Each person will receive a 14-inch square foundation cloth, and may choose quilt patches from a wealth of silks, velvets and other fabrics we will have available. There will also be a large selection of lace, trims, buttons and beads. Members are encouraged to bring any fabric and embellishments they want to add to their mini quilt. Finished pieces can be framed or made into pillows, totes or wall hangings. They could also be incorporated into larger quilts or other sewing projects

Attendees should bring lunch, their usual stitching materials and a supply of pins. We will be using both perle cotton and cotton floss, so if you have sharp needles suitable for those threads, please bring those as well. We are looking forward to sharing our enthusiasm for crazy quilting at this fun and creative class!

The cost is $20.  You can download the registration form here.

The registration form will also be in our Spring newsletter.
