Fiber Arts: “Quilted Stockings”

Deadline to Register: November 9th at 5:00pm

Description: Let’s make holiday stockings! This is a perfect beginner-level sewing and quilting class. We will use a pattern and audition our finished looks before sewing up the perfect gift or decoration for the holiday season. Stockings can be plain or jazzed with trims and a little extra sewing. After this class, you will want to make more, we promise! We encourage you to bring your sewing machines but will also have a few available to rent on a first come, first serve basis.

Instructor: Beth Hunter has been a history teacher at the college level for 12 years.  She serves on the Executive Board and Board of Directors for the Alabama Historical Association and am a member of various historical societies and groups. Outside the classroom, her passion is quilting. She is  currently writing a book about Alabama quilts, county by county. As a life-long Alabamian, she is interested in the stories behind quilts. While she came to quilting and sewing later in life, she has fond memories of sewing as a child with her grandmother. She feels quilting is an art form and should be celebrated. For this to continue, she feels we need to teach others, especially younger sewists.
