As a bonus, we will be making monthly videos where Marilyn will provide guidance on both cutting and piecing of each block. These videos will be posted on YouTube.

The American Pie demonstrations will be from 10 am - 11 am while the Saturday Sampler demonstrations will be from 11 am - 12 pm. The first demonstration starts on Saturday, April 6th.

Whether you purchase the kit or the BOM, you are still welcome to participate in our in-store demonstrations and have access to our videos.
