“Bags with Zippers”

The pouch will teach the technique of working with vinyl and putting in zippers in two different styles.  A very useful project and would make wonderful gifts for the holiday season just around the corner.  Register early!

Cathy Perlmutter
“Scrap Cities”

Cathy is a quilt designer, author and teacher with 30 years quilting experience.  Her approach to quilting is non-fussy and improv-friendly – meandering between modern, traditional, artsy and quirky.  If you can’t sew a straight line, you’ve come to the right place – she is still striving to achieve a consistent 1/4″ seam allowance.  Quilting is a thrill sport to Cathy.  She never knows where each quilt will take her, but she has a blast in the process, learning a lot and usually laughing at mistakes (or worst-case scenario. sewing a patch over them).  Wherever you are in your quilting journey, beginner to experienced, she believes you will have a good time and surprise yourself with what you learn and create.
