YANKEE PRIDE CLASS SCHEDULE
WINTER/SPRING 2008
General Information
Yankee Pride Quilts is now offering the Winter/Spring 2008 schedule of classes for Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced students. In addition to offering expert and experienced teachers, we are also pleased to offer each student a 20% discount on all class materials.
Please call us at 872-9300 if you have any questions regarding classes, hours, or anything quilt-related. We're happy to help you!
Our current offerings are:
Cancellation Policy
Any class will be cancelled if there is not the minimum number of students five days before the class is scheduled to begin. Refunds will be given to all students at that time. No refunds can be given thereafter.
Project Yardage
Yardage for specific classes may be given to students if the class has previously been taught at Yankee Pride. Yardage for new classes will not be available until the first class meeting. Students who purchase their fabric and class supplies before the first class do so at their own risk. Yankee Pride cannot be responsible if the class is cancelled due to low enrollment.
Note: Unless otherwise specified, all classes include all directions needed to complete the projects.
Class Registration
We require a minimum of
six students for each class. We must receive payment for the class upon registration.
Winter Weather Advisory!!!
During the winter months, please call before coming if the weather is bad - we may decide to close the shop early, or open late.
Also, classes may have to be postponed sometimes due to the weather situation. If you have any questions about a class you have signed up for, please feel free to call us. We will try to reach students when a class needs to be postponed, but it is much easier if you call us.
