The Genesee Valley Quiltfest! |
|
|
SewGreenRochester was at the Genesee Quiltfest as a designated charity. Georgia demonstrated the dependable treadle sewing machines. Add a thank you to Pam, Paula and Deb for helping out at quilt fest. Attendees young and old enjoyed the show and the treadle demonstrations! If you missed the Quiltfest, put it on your calendar for 2021. If you attended the show then you saw so many amazing and gorgeous quilts. The quilts were big and small, traditional and modern, and oh so impressive! |

If you were bitten by the quilt bug, SewGreen has lots of premium cotton fabrics that are perfect for quilt making! |

Sewing Machine 101/102 June 22 Make friends with a sewing machine in our shop or bring yours from home. We will take you through the basics of machine operation and safety, and guide you toward sewing a project. Also, build on the skills you've gained in 101. Is there a sewing project that interests you, or that you want to complete? How can your newly-gained sewing machine skills help you achieve that goal? This is the place and time to learn! |
