Back to School!

Here at PMQG, we're all about sharing knowledge! In the past, we've tried to announce classes PMQG members are teaching or would be interested in. However, lately we have so many amazing members doing so many amazing things, we haven't been able to squeeze in all of the information into the announcements. Here is a list of some amazing quilting and crafting classes coming up. If you know of others, please leave a comment letting us know!
