Step into a day of inspiration at Prickly Pear Quilts. Meet the creative minds behind your favorite classes, explore a vibrant gallery of instructor samples and learn about the upcoming classes. Then settle in for an afternoon session where you will sew a beautiful curated gift bag - a make and take project designed to delight. Choose your date: Friday, August 7 or Saturday, August 8. Join us from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm for instructor meet and greets and a first look at upcoming fall class samples. This morning session is free and open to all. In the afternoon, claim your spot in one of our hands on gift bag make and take workshops offered at 1:00-2:30 pm or 3:30-5:00 pm. Class fee is $35, and will include your class and kit to make a gift bag. Sewing seats are limited, so sign up today! It's the perfect blend of creativity, community, and inspiration — a day that celebrates the artistry of quilting, bag making, and sewing.
