BEGINNERS CLUB

The Nimble Thimbles meet monthly at Silver Thimble.  Nimble Thimbles is a group for beginners who have made a quilt or two or three, but still feel a little intimidated when starting a new project.  This group helps to inspire the confidence to continue with other projects. If you feel like you are on your own after taking a beginner class and don't know where to start, then this group is for you. The group is a working group and meets the 1st Thursday of each month, 5:30-8 PM . Someone in the shop will be available for advice and to answer your questions (about quilting!). The nice thing about this group (besides the socialization) is that someone is available to offer suggestions when you are ready to learn it!  Join with other beginners and learn about quilting as you construct your quilts. No charge for this group, but registration is required.

Pictured above is one block from the quilt Fly Away, which the club will be doing in March.  This is a large, 4 block quilt.  During the March session, we will briefly demonstrate fabric painting for those of you who are interested.  You do not need to paint fabric to do this quilt, however.  Just choose a print or solid for your alternative.  If you wish to see the sample, it is available in the shop.  

March 15 or March 16,  1-3 or 6-8.  Registration required.
