Quilting on the River with the Redneck Quilter™ 8/17/2024
Quilt on a Sternwheeler!
Join us for a unique experience as we offer the first quilt class in the Mid-Ohio Valley on the Ohio River! We are offering a once in a life time quilt class as we head down the river and offer a quilting class for up to 30 participants. We will be making a new block designed by Brian and Warren that we have named the "Mid-Ohio Valley Star".
This one day 'quilting cruise' includes a class on the Valley Gem Sternwheeler with lunch and some time to admire the scenic views from the upper deck. We are working on creating a sample trunk show with the "Mid-Ohio Valley Star" made as a wall hanging and a quilt, as well as a sneak peak of whats new from the Redneck Quilter™!
Boarding begins at 9am. The Valley Gem will depart the dock at 9:30am. We'll return to disembark around 3:30pm.
