Quilt Camps

Quilt Camp is for youth ages 7-17 interested in learning to quilt! Each session is 2.5 hours each day for four days (Monday -Thursday).

Campers will learn a variety of quilting skills and techniques in each session. Beginner campers focus on basics like machine piecing, ironing, and finishing the quilt. Intermediate & Advanced campers will expand these skills to include rotary cutting, machine quilting, and binding. Each day campers will explore the exhibits in the museum galleries. All materials & instruction are provided.
