Searching for material girls

For many years, Sorrento Centre has hosted a retreat-style quilt workshop in April.

For many years, Sorrento Centre has hosted a retreat-style quilt workshop in April. This year’s course offerings promise to again be both fun and educational.

The workshops run every day from April 25 to 29, with a variety of options, as well as meals and accommodation.

A choice of three workshops are being offered:

• Dianne Jansson, a delightful, experienced quilt teacher and owner of Di-Versity Quilting Supplies in Pritchard, will teach “Tessellations” – interlocking shapes that create patterns from the simple to complex.

• Lynn Knox will teach “Metro Rings,” which is an easy way to create a quilt that looks like the difficult wedding ring quilt, without the fuss.

• Kathy Kinsella, a Blind Bay fibre art teacher, is offering a class on “Butterflies and Dragonflies” that includes a variety of surface design techniques to create beautiful and unique butterflies.

Beginners to experienced fibre artists will find this an engaging course.

The retreat-style week includes accommodations but day participants are welcome too.

Call Sorrento Centre at 250-675-2421 to inquire about space in the workshop you would like to attend, or visit their website sorrento-centre.bc.ca.
