Event Details

Have you ever wanted to learn how to hand sew a quilt? Join SIR Lexie on a fun and informative program where you can learn how to hand sew your own quilt block. We will also learn how someone during Cordell Hull's time would have made a quilt.

This program is recommended for people 8 years old and older. Children will need the assistance of an adult. Please note that we will be using sharp sewing needles and other tools during this program.

Hand sewing is an extremely useful skill to have. Hopefully after you leave, you will be able to take this skill with you.

All materials will be provided by us.

For more information on how to prepare, please see attached Essential Eligibility Criteria.

In the event of inclement weather, this program will be canceled.
