Feb.1 class..questions...?
The class at Piecemakers Feb.1 still has room and some of you expressed interest and said their website didn't have it up but you have to click the class section once your in their website and download a PDF file. My class is listed under "beaded treasures". Sorry for that but it's how they do it. I've embedded the info here so I hope that helps. If your interested in taking the class just call Piecemakers to sign up. 714-641-3112. Hope to see you there it's a fun class!
