2 Day Workshop - Tues. and Wed., Feb 18-19, 2020
Program: Creativity and Curves
Workshop Fee: $100 for QCE members ($125 for nonmembers)
In this two-day workshop, you make a curvy-pieced quilt top of your own design. You start by translating simple doodles into block designs and transferring the line work to freezer paper for making patterns. You then walk through the steps for making a fabric version of your custom patterns. By the end of the workshop, you will have the competence and confidence to add curves to your future quilt projects.
