Beginner Quilting Class Starts January 6

If you would like to start the new year with a new creative outlet, please consider the Machine Quilting for Beginners class starting January 6. Meetings are held on Saturdays from 9:30 until noon at the Spreckels Center. For more information and to register, go online to the City of Coronado Recreation Brochure.

This fun class is offered by a group of five volunteers who love quilting and enjoy passing on their art to new learners. They bring a combined 140 years of quilting experience and individual styles. The class is geared for those with basic knowledge of machine sewing and you must bring your own machine.

The idea of offering a quilting class to the community emerged after a group of local quilters began meeting monthly to share their creations, learn new techniques, and enjoy the comradery of like-minded artists. The first class was offered last September and was filled immediately. The upcoming class in January still has a few spots available.
