The Vancouver Quilters' Guild workshops are held at Knox United Church Hall, 5600 Balaclava Street, (north
of 41st Avenue) from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Lots of parking is available at the rear of the building (enter parking lot from Balaclava Street). Bring lunch; tea, coffee and goodies will be provided. (The closest sandwich shop is IGA, 3 blocks away, so either pack your lunch or allow enough time to shop).
Unless noted, the workshops are for all levels of Quilters.
Registration for all classes is at the monthly meeting, before the meeting starts and during the break. The fee for the class is payable upon registration.
Costs:
Non-members may take workshops, provided there is space available. They pay an extra fee. Unless otherwise announced, the workshop fee will be $40 for members and $50 for non-members. If there is an additional kit fee it will be shown on the sign-up sheet. Please note that payment of the workshop fee is a commitment to attend the workshop. Refunds
will only be made if the class is over-subscribed, or if you can find someone to take your place.
