OVQG Workshop Policy
As teacher contracts are signed well in advance, workshop fees are non-refundable.  If you are unable to attend a workshop,
​you may sell or transfer your spot to another person.  We ask that members use any available waiting list first.

The Shaded Star class was organised by the OVQG and offered at Linda's Quilt Shop. Carol Cooney is an inspiring teacher and led us to make the shaded star block! Thanks to Karen Blumel for the organisation!
