Prickly Pear Quilts has received a lot of requests for classes. Normally our fall class schedule is posted in August but these are challenging times...

Due to the amount of interest and after much thought and discussion with my staff, we have decided to offer a reduced training schedule with limited seating. Following social distancing guidelines, our classroom will comfortably accommodate 6 people. Masks will be required for students, teachers and staff. We will continue to clean and sanitize.

We ask that if you sign up for one of our classes and do not feel well anytime before or on the day of the class, please do not attend the session. There will be future opportunities to attend classes. We appreciate you partnering with us to help keep us all safe and able to continue providing sewing services.

I will continue to closely monitor the impact Coronavirus may have over the next few months and if need be, will make necessary adjustments to the schedule.

PPQ has started some online demonstrations and staff are working to further develop online content. Stay tuned!
