I’m teaching a Foundation Paper Piecing class on Friday March 20, 2026 Block Therapy Quilt Shop! A couple people can’t make it anymore, so there are 3 spots open!
You’ll be bringing large scraps, thread, machine ( or rent a shop machine for $10), and basic sewing supplies. We’ll have great fun learning FPP in this 3 hour class.
Grab a few friends and come join in a fun morning!

Foundation Paper Piecing class
At Block Therapy Quilt Shop
10:30am - 1:30pm

Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) has a reputation—it can be a total blast… or it can leave you scratching your head. In this beginner-friendly (and refresher-friendly!) class, Nina will take the mystery out of FPP and walk you through each step so you’ll always know exactly where your next piece...

Love my art quilt meetings. So inspirational. More houses are being built. We’re still deciding on a title for the project.

The ACAQ will have a denim fashion show at our Azalea City Quilters Guild, Inc. meeting in May. Get busy if you haven’t made anything yet. Marsha Wilson Hodges remembered something denim she made in college.

Marsha is planning a smocking workshop at her home in Lucedale. She provides all material and lunch to make a smocked Easter egg.

Words - is another unMary Gale Woolfordds should be your focus. Any technique. Words or phrases. Max size is 30”.

Elaine gave a wonderful program on Zentangle. Mary Gale Woolford shared a collection of tangles from 10 years ago. March meeting: make a fabric tangle 9” square, faced, no binding.

Missed all of you who had conflicts and the sniffles. 😘

A small group with lots of discussion about denim, houses and words. Always inspirational. Now I definitely want to make a denim poncho.

Discussions continued at Mellow Mushroom.
