Sew, you want to learn something new? Discover the craft of quilting at the Mennonite Heritage Center’s Beginner’s Quilting Workshop on Jan. 11 and 25, 2025, from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM.

In this workshop, led by Sharon Swartzentruber, participants will learn about quilt making, focusing on hand quilting. Each person will choose a preprinted fabric panel to learn hand quilting, outlining the design in the panel. A variety of panels will be available to choose from, including baby quilts, Christmas designs, and all-season designs.

Most materials are included, but please bring your own scissors to cut threads. Fabrics and batting will be precut. A demonstration of the process for finishing a quilt will be provided.

Ages 13 and up are welcome to register. Consider getting a group of your friends to come.

The second session, Jan. 25 at MCC Material Resource Center (737 Hagey Center Dr., Unit C, Souderton) will provide guidance on finishing your hand-quilted panel. Participants will use sewing machines (provided) to attach a binding on the edge of their quilt. This session is optional but offered at no extra cost; however, donations to the MCC Material Resource Center for the use of their facility and sewing machines are appreciated.

The workshop cost for both sessions with materials is $100 for members ($115 for non-members). Registration is required and space is limited to 15 participants. To register call 215-256-3020 ext. 112.
