Welcome to the May 2021 Newsletter from Delphine's
Just as May flowers are starting to come out so too are quilters. It's been great to see folks that haven't been in during the pandemic and to hear about the quilts that have been made. I don't know of any sewist or quilter that got bored this past year!
Wednesday, May 21st or June 2nd or June 23rd from 1-3pm on each day -
1 session but 3 days to choose from
Interested in learning how to foundation paper piece? Come join Jen to
