Friends! Neighbors! Quilters and the quilting curious! Join us for our 2nd annual free afternoon of sewing with Wassaic Project residency and exhibition alum Natalie Baxter.
Participants of this free workshop will learn how to design, cut, and piece a quilt square using a sewing machine. All materials and tools will be provided and experienced quilters will be available to help. The end result will be a community quilt created by many hands to be displayed at the Wassaic Project and raffled off with proceeds benefiting the Wassaic Fire Company.
This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by Arts Mid-Hudson.
