This introduction to English paper piecing techniques will review a variety of methods and products that can be used to create all kinds of hand pieced projects (tote bags, wall-hangings, quilts, etc.).  Will review fabric considerations (such as value and fussy cutting motifs), various methods of basting papers as well as finishing techniques and ideas for a variety of projects.  

You'll have a chance to try these methods and sample a variety of product options - plus get some construction tips from an expert!  We'll provide 1 inch hexagons to get you started on OR if you have a particular project or paper piecing shape that you want to work with, please bring it and you can get some personalized instruction too.

This class would make a great refresher or a review for a novice too - we hope to be getting a patchwork of the crosses project underway and this class would be great to provide the tools to think about tackling that project.  Jane has lots of tips from her experience that will put you miles ahead right at the starting line!

Hope our weather holds beyond this long weekend for our Canadian friends...well into next weekend for our Memorial Day long weekend.  Enjoy your extra time with family and friends and maybe a bit of stitching!

Just a reminder - the Memorial Day parade will tie up Cornwall Avenue and our parking lot on Saturday the 24th - so we'll be closed for a few hours that morning and open late in the afternoon once the traffic has cleared.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
