- Mission Hall Quilts spring classesMission Hall Quilts will be offering a range of classes to suit all levels in the spring term beginning in Mid-Late January 2010. Our fantastic quilting tutors Mary Good, Pauline Openneer and Rena Mc Clean have projects to suit all tastes, Jacqueline O'Doherty's Block of the month continues and a new 'Happy Scrappy Calendar ' block of the month begins. The open 'Quilting Bee' sessions will now take place on a Monday afternoon and the Linus Project returns (this is a free class where the quilts produced are donated to local children in hospital). We are also hoping to offer a range of varied taster classes on Saturdays throughout the term. Please see the timetable for further details.
