3-Hour Workshop
12 pm - 3 pm EST, Friday, January 22
In this workshop, we add narrow fabric strips to a patchwork top, creating a free and unexpected pattern. Contrasting colours and playful lines bring a cheerful, lively energy to the design.
You will learn a versatile technique that can easily be incorporated into your own patchwork projects. Discover how just a few carefully placed lines and thoughtful use of colour can completely transform the look and feel of a quilt.
