Class Registration
OQB has a fabulous staff of teachers ready, willing and very qualified to provide instruction for all levels of quilters and sewers. To help ensure the class you want to take is a "go", please sign-up early. Waiting until the last few days before a class is to start risks cancellation and disappointment to both the teachers and students. By registering early you will ensure your class of choice is a "go", have time to gather supplies and do pre-class work if necessary. Teachers are notified of class cancellation 3 days prior to the class date.
As a reminder, class fees are fully refundable if class is cancelled by OQB if teachers "minimum attendance" is not met.
