Class @ Home Ec Workshop MAR 8 & 15, 2014

SATs MAR 8 & 15, 10A-1P, Home Ec Workshop, Iowa City

Join me to make the Modern Quilt Relish quilt pattern, "Taffy Twists."  The class is limited to four people with the following quilt-making skills (or willing to learn them very quickly): read and follow pattern; confident, safe, accurate rotary-cutting; "fussy" open-seam ironing; consistent, accurate "scant" 1/4-inch seam sewing.  With these skills well in-hand, the pattern is easy to follow and fun to put together.

I made the Throw size (60" x 78"), but you can make whatever size you like 
(pattern has four size options: Table Runner, Baby, Throw, Queen).

The book is a delightful and informative read.  It gave me welcome insight into the personal lives and struggles of some of my favorite artists.  Congdon'...
