We have a few spaces left in our June 27th Barn Quilt workshop. This workshop has a patriotic theme, just in time to make your home feel patriotic for our nation's birthday!
Additionally, we have a few remaining boards prepped for last month's Welcome sign BQ. If you've wanted to give this fun artform a try, call the Nature Center and register now (315) 482-2479. The cost is $50 for either theme, the time is 9am-3pm. You'll also want to bring a lunch and prepare for a day of good fun!
