INTRO TO QUILTING
Galloping Gargoyles! It’s Wands & Wizards Weekend in Lancaster and Beyond from July 31st – August 14th presented by our friends at Visit Fairfield County! We are celebrating with a cool project perfect for hanging in your bedroom, dorm room or wherever you cast your spells!.
SEWING MACHINE BASICS
In this class, we will learn how to use a sewing machine by making a square pillow with nine-patch design! We’ll learn how to thread the machine and bobbin, stitch and backstitch. This is a great class for beginners and for people who wonder if they could pull that machine out of the closet and make it sing again.

UPDATED MASK POLICY | July 10, 2020
Due to Fairfield County joining the Level 3 COVID Risk counties in Ohio, we will be adhering to the state guidelines requiring face coverings in public places. Mask-wearing while shopping at Rabbit & Rocket and during classes is now required by the State Health Department. Our team has been wearing masks when teaching and will continue to do so.
If you are experiencing symptoms of any contagious illness (not just COVID-19), we ask that you request transfer of your class registration to a future class. We’re happy to honor rebooking for a later date.
Our Wellness Precautions: We are easily able to provide lots of distancing between students for this class, are sanitizing the space and tools between guests, and have a medical grade HEPA air filtration machine in place. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at the shop: (740) 901-3041.
This is an ever-evolving situation and we will adjust policies as updated medical guidance is available to inform our policies.

We’ve got dozens of classes you can request as a Private Class if you have at least two and as many as six people in your group!
