Reminders - Building Piecing Skills One Block at a Time
Reminders - Building Piecing Skills One Block at a Time with Teri Lucas
Skill building in piecing and quilting takes time and practice. What better way than making a quilt that is colorful and fun? "Reminders" is that quilt pattern where you will build skill in selecting fabrics, pressing, rotary cutting, measuring, and piecing. Each block increases in complexity offering the opportunity to hone each part of the process. Machine quilting options will be offered.
This small group class is presented in collaboration with John C. Campbell Folk School and Lessonface. Students are invited to attend an optional Orientation and Closing Ceremony to connect with various online Folk School classes.
