Carnival Flower Workshop Special Information:
Your Project
Carnival Flower participants will be able to design their project using the Quiltster tool on their own or with the help of one of Yoder Department Store’s coloring experts using all fabrics available on the Quiltster Marketplace. There will also be some pre-planned project designs should you choose. If your favorite fabric is not available, be sure to ask if it can be added for use in your project.
A monthly Quiltster subscription will be included in the workshop fee, however, the cost of your project is not included in your registration, and therefore will be an additional expense. After ordering your Carnival Flower project, we will prepare your kit and have it waiting for you at the event.
