Q&A
Question: Eight weeks? What does that cover?
Answer: If you miss a class, Anne will email or mail you the handout for that class and answer any questions you may have the following week if time permits. There will not be any makeup classes. If you miss a class, come to the subsequent classes - you can still learn how to quilt! Obviously it's to your advantage to attend all classes, but we all know life happens. :)
Question: What about Covid-19 concerns?
Answer: All attendees and the instructor will wear masks the entire time. You will be working at your own table with your own things. In the event that there is a hands-on activity, Ann can supply small rubber gloves. If you have larger hands, you may want to include a pair in your kit.
