SOLD OUT Pro Stitcher Two Day Class With Mary Beth Krapil



**We're sorry, but this class is sold out. If you'd like to be placed on the waiting list, please send an email to Kim@Kimmyquilt.com**

This is a two day class with renowned Handi Quilter international educator Mary Beth Krapil. The class is an all-day lecture/demo format, as Mary Beth feels that she can give students far more information using this format than she can in a hands-on class.

Classes will be held at the Best Western Premier Nicollet Inn at 14201 Nicollet Ave S in Burnsville, MN. The hotel is located in a safe, easy to find location just off 35W and 35E at County Road 42 in Burnsville. Students will have
a 1.5 hour lunch break. There is a restaurant in the hotel, as well as dozens of restaurants in the area surrounding the hotel.

If you are traveling from out of town and are interested in booking a hotel room, please let us know as we have reserved a block of rooms for this event.

The class fee is for *both days* of class. Do not enroll twice! You simply need to register for the first day and you will automatically be enrolled in the second day as well at no additional cost.
