WORKSHOPS

I think most of you realise how lucky we are with the workshops arranged by Pat Screaton.  She has done this for several years, and yet somehow manages to come up with different people offering different ideas and techniques.

Next year (Cosby Quilters 25^th anniversary) we have some really top notch people in the quilting world, booked on workshops and talks.

Dates and details will follow soon.....

If you just check out and see the prices charged for these workshops, you will realise, that we at Cosby Quilters are getting a very good deal.

Pat and the committee endeavour to keep the prices down, to make them attractive and affordable, but this then creates a very tight margin between making a loss, and breaking even.  We are not looking to make a profit, but we do need to break even.

This is where we need your support.  If these workshops are not filled, we make a loss – simple.

So we need you to come along and attend these workshops.  Everyone will learn something new, even those of you who have been sewing forever….

to this end, I would like to mention two forthcoming events.
