Fiber Art: Quilting

Piece together the traditional art of quilting in this beginner-friendly six-week mini quilting course. Inspired by the America 250: Common Threads exhibition, students will explore classic quilting patterns while creating their own mini quilt top.

You’ll begin by learning accurate measuring and cutting techniques, then progress to piecing fabric squares together using a sewing machine. This course emphasizes foundational skills, craftsmanship, and design—no prior experience necessary.

Tickets are $225 ($187.50/members and adults 25 and under). Reserve your spot online or with Guest Experience at (479) 657-2335 today.

All materials included. Class runs Sundays, June 14 – July 26 (see dates below). Classes are 14+.

Taught by some truly amazing mentors in a farming community in South Dakota, Donya Bannister discovered her love of sewing early in life—a passion that has grown into a lifelong creative practice. Today, she is the owner and creative force behind Copper Spool Quilting in Northwest Arkansas, where she blends modern design with traditional quilting techniques.

Donya’s work has gained international recognition, including a feature in Issue 67 of Make Modern Magazine, a modern quilting publication based in Australia with readers across more than 70 countries. When she’s not creating or longarming quilts, Donya enjoys being with her family, playing with her dogs in the garden, and reading every book in front of her. To see more of Donya’s work, with some creative inspiration and behind-the-scenes fun, follow along on Instagram @copperspoolquilting or on Facebook at Copper Spool Quilting.
