SHORTCUTS! * DANA BRABSON
Chapter 1 in A. A. Milne's Winnie-The-Pooh begins as
follows. "Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump,
bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is,
as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he
feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping
for a moment and think of it." Sometimes our quilting is like
that; many quilt patterns involve tedious cutting and piecing
techniques. Join us as we learn shortcuts that save time (and
increase the fun), that avoid sewing along bias edges, and much
more. You will make an example (to take home) using each of the
techniques we examine in this high-speed class, and take home detailed
sets of instructions.
3 hrs: $28 (kit included).
