Class - Wood | Registration opens 2/10/2026 9:00 AM EST
Learn to weave a useful Tote Basket with a beautiful twill pattern. The quilter's tote has wooden swing handles for easy carrying and a tightly woven bottom to keep your sewing supplies, (or anything else!) from slipping through the gaps. Weavers will learn and practice the twill pattern and creating a closed bottom with the "chicken feet" technique. Space dyed reed, which is dyed with multiple colors to create an ombre effect, will be available to create a beautiful finished basket. All skill levels are welcome.
