Mountain BlossomLots of exciting things going on!
 
Starting with all the clubs and workshops it's all about education.

Mountain Blossom is a hand piecing and embroidery club. This club meets the second Saturday of the month from 9:00am to 12:00pm. Due to the large interest in this club, we have added a second date. This club will also meet on the Friday before the second Saturday from 9:00am to 12:00pm.

Applique BOM is a monthly workshop where you learn a new applique technique with each project. From needle turn to fusible and free motion applique each month builds on a new technique. We meet on the second Tuesday or second Saturday of each month. Check the calendar for dates and times.

Baltimore Halloween meets the last Friday or the last Sunday of each month. Here's a great opportunity to practice, learn or explore free motion applique with small blocks. This project will not be needle turned but will be fused and have lots of thread play opportunities. It's never too early to start a Halloween project.
