Mad River Quilting
Fall 2011
Class Schedule (and more!)
I hope this finds you all enjoying the last days of summer.  It has been an exciting time here at Mad River Quilting.  Thanks to lots of help from lots of friends and family, we are all moved into our new space and just loving it!  It is so open and bright! 

Our classes this fall will take place right here at the shop - yeah!  There's a great variety - something for everyone - so make sure you scroll  ALL the way down!  As usual, just email me or stop by to register.  There are class samples hanging at the shop if you'd like to take a look in person.  I'll send supply lists electronically so make sure I have your email address.  Payment is due at the first class.

Hope I'll be seeing you soon -

Winter Retreat?? 

There has been some beginning notes of interest in a Kwilt Kamp - Winter Version.  The very tentative dates would be Friday - Sunday, February 24 - 26.  Thoughts at this point for a MYSTERY quilt with other fun and games.  Likely about $220/person.   If there is enough interest, I will pursue reservations.  Must have 13 participants by end of October.

Send me a note to get on the "yes" list!
