Sunday, November 17th, 2024 from 2:00pm - 4:00pm
Come to this make-and-take class to sew two easy gifts for yourself or others! Julie will provide a variety of fabrics, instructions and encouragement to complete two sewing projects. A “warm hug” is a microwavable rice bag with an inner and outer sleeve for easy cleaning. These make great gifts and therapeutic aids for the aches we may experience. The “mug rug” is a small coaster to protect your tables from a hot cup or cool glass. Students can choose from a variety of shapes and fabrics.
Hot cocoa, tea, coffee, and cider will be available for sipping as we enjoy our afternoon.

Instructor Julie Grillo
Friday, November 15th, 2024 from 9:00am to 12:00pm
Come and learn Grillo’s Quillows! This pattern became a service project Julie coordinated for years and donated hundreds of quillows to Fort Collins kids. It’s a great project. Super easy with our tall tables and good lighting in the gallery classroom.
We will bring our fabrics and work as a team to help each other cut and pin our quillows. Each of us will sew on our own machines and finish the quillow during class. Then Julie will teach you how to flip and fold the quilt into a pillow. Wa-lah!
You can buy batting from Julie at class, bring your own, or not use batting at all.No experience necessary. Teens and adults are welcome.
