Woven Fabric Basket– Thurs. March 18, 10am – 5pm

Sew jelly roll strips of fabrics (2 ½” wide) into tubes, add a stabilizer and then weave them into an attractive basket that can hold your mail, be a desk organizer, filled with baked goods for friends and neighbors, or even hold a current stitching project. Your fabric selections determine the style or the holiday. These are excellent for Easter baskets; fill with goodies and they get to keep the basket! Class fee $33.00

National Quilting Day – Sat. Mach 20, 10am – 5pm

Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference. Every pillowcase can make a difference in our community. A pillowcase can provide comfort for a cancer patient, hope for a foster child, encouragement for a battered woman, or beauty for a extended care resident. Join us in this national effort to make and donate one million pillowcases. Village Fabrics & Crafts will donate the fabric for each person to make one pillowcase to donate to the cause. Even if you have never sewn before come and join us. We will have lots of helpers and lots of fun. If you would like to stay and continue to make more pillowcases, bring your own sewing machine and your fabrics and we will be here to help! Let's see how many we can stitch up in one day! Please give us a call if you would like to join us or have questions.
