Instructor: Cindy Fenster | Cost: $65

Would you like to say, “I quilted it myself.”? Cindy Fenster and Kathy Doyle have developed a technique called “cyndikation” which gives you the opportunity to successfully quilt your own quilts on your home sewing machine. Cyndikation allows you to divide your quilt into sections, quilt the sections, and then join the quilted sections together. Bring a quilt top you want to finish yourself. In the first session, Cindy will help you decide how to split the top into sections, help you plan a quilting design, and get you started quilting. The second session will teach the cyndikation technique. You’ll put at least two sections together.  Lunch option available.
