Join us for an inspiring and creative event with Nicholas Turcan, a multitalented quilter whose passion for fabric and design knows no bounds.

Now, he teaches longarm quilting workshops perfect for anyone looking to quilt their own quilts, enhance their quilting skills or gain confidence in their craft.
