Learn the timeless hand-sewing technique of English paper piecing using classic hexagons. In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll wrap fabric around paper templates, stitch your hexagons together by hand, and assemble them into a finished pincushion. Along the way, we’ll cover fabric selection, precise hand stitching, pressing techniques, and clean finishing methods.
By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a completed pincushion and the skills to continue piecing larger projects at home—quilts, patchwork panels, or slow-stitch accessories. No sewing machine required.

It’s October 1991, at the height of the AIDS crisis, and the residents of Casey House, Canada’s first free-standing AIDS hospice receive word that Diana, Princess of Wales, will be making a historic visit.
“Powerful, gripping, funny and hopeful,” (Hamilton Magazine), this moving drama by Nick Green vividly captures a moment in time when a rebel Princess, devoted caregivers and advocates reshaped the course of a crisis—and how those stricken by the virus found hard-won dignity, community and love in the face of astonishing hardship. Inspired by incredible true events, Casey and Diana is a powerful tribute to love, resilience, community and compassion.
Suggested for ages 14+, mature content, language
