Morning session- What a full day we are going to have. I’ll teach you flowers, leaves, jazzy, funky, cool freehand designs that can be used on any quilt. Fast and easy edge-to-edge designs to some thinking “outside of the box.”
In the afternoon when you are all warmed up for quilting, we will work on borders and sashings designs. For an added thriller we are going to do fillers. YES even micro fillers..We’re going to spend some time on stitching in the ditch and alternatives. This is a busy class, loaded with lots of great ideas.
