Join us for a fun filled day in which we will explore diamond quilt design variations. This class will offer instruction on strip piecing diamonds with strategies for matching diamond seams, maintaining uniform shapes/ angles and finishing with a flat, even quilt top. This design is jelly roll friendly, but you can make yours with any size strips.
A PDF supply list will be provided. 
Join us for a fun filled day in which we will create a quilt full of movement and texture. We will learn curved piecing of fabrics for the background. Easy quilting designs will be introduced. Yarns will be couched to the surface for movement and definition. Screen printing will be demonstrated as an option.
A PDF supply list will be provided. (Kits of fabrics, yarn, and silk organza are available from Rachel for $30 USD. Contact Audrey Seddon at bseddon@mymts.net before March 1/21 to order. See Rachel’s website www.artfulquiltingandsewing.com for color options.)
