Jennifer Amor: Fabulous Fakes: Bargello Without Boredom (Half Day WS, Fri, 2/28/25, 1-4pm)

Like the look of bargello but don’t have the time to sew all those strip sets? Here’s a super trick for quick and easy projects: use striped fabric and cut your sewing time in half! You can learn the basics of bargello while creating a small wall hanging! Class covers all the fundamentals: fabric selection, cutting, sewing and pressing accurate strip sets. Then sew the design on a foundation for perfectly straight, headache-free placement. Learn from the original bargello expert; Jennifer was one of the first quilters to translate needlepoint bargello into fabric!
