Welcome!

We are grateful for the partnership between Quilters' Paradise and the Lumberyard Arts Center! Their assistance in promoting quilting within our community as the Quilt Capital of Kansas and the ability to use their larger classroom/studio space for most of our classes is a blessing to us all. Please continue to support the arts in Baldwin City.
