BASIC SKILLS
The talented members of the Moonlight Quilters of Sonoma County share their skills in four classes each year. These fun and informative classes are held at various locations.
Basic Skills classes are Free to Members, however, donations to defray the rising cost of room rentals are gratefully accepted.
Classes cover such topics as:
-
appliqué: machine or hand
-
machine piecing or quilting
-
specific block patterns
-
techniques
These workshops are a fun way to get to know your fellow MQSC members, learn a new skill, or brush up on something you haven’t done for a while.
For more information or to sign up contact the Basic Skills Coordinators.
