Art Quilting, Mixed-Media and Art Doll Classes

A comprehensive list of non-traditional sewing and arts classes in the North Texas area.  I love to take art quilting and mixed media classes, but sometimes its hard to find them.  So I am making it my mission to keep an ongoing list of art quilting, mixed-media, art doll, fabric dyeing classes in Dallas, Plano, McKinney, Richardson, Garland, Frisco Texas area.  If you know of an upcoming class please email me so I can add it to the list.  allisonray@gmail.com
