The Gathering of Rogers

We invite our friends to join us August 7, 8 and 9 for classes and events in Rogers!  The shop will host an eclectic mix of classes at Southside Church of Christ, Dixieland and Dogwood, only a short distance from the shop.  There will be plenty of room there and it's all on one level. 

We're pleased to have several well-known teachers participating -- Donna Lynn Thomas, Dawn Heese, Jenifer Dick, Candy Hargrove, Becky Cogan and Robbi Triplett, as well as some of our talented local teachers.

On Friday evening,  August 8, Dawn Heese will be showing many quilts of her own design, including some from her latest book, Inspired.  Her vintage style will "inspire" many to recreate her designs!

In addition to classes and these trunk shows, the shop will be offering chances to "make and take" projects, and free demonstrations are scheduled at the church location.
