2013 Fall Semester Schedule

We are so excited for fall classes to start and to announce our new location at Hobby Lobby in American Fork! With the closure of The Quilting Cottage quickly approaching we were worried we wouldn't have a home for the fall in American Fork, but to our great luck (&blessings!) Hobby Lobby was thrilled to have us join their class schedule.

Registration is now open for our fall semester. Students are registering for the FULL fall semester, which will run September, October, November and December. Classes will start September 3rd.

What goes together better than

Soccer and Sewing?!
(Love this pic by the way. One of my favorites. Our girl S is sewing in cleats!)
