Quiltz Classes

We are happy to offer all of these wonderful classes. Be sure to take advantage of all the great opportunities to learn new techniques and create new projects in the coming months.

Because our teachers need to prepare for their classes, and because class sizes may be limited, we ask you to pay at the time you register. You may get a refund if you need to cancel your reservation, but only if you cancel one week before the start of class. This not only allows the teacher to plan better, but also allows anyone waiting for an opening to register. We thank you for your interest in Quiltz classes. And remember, if there is a class you would like to see offered in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!
