In this three day class you will learn the basic to foundation paper piecing. All students will be making the Desert Sky pattern by Judy Niemeyer. The class size is kept smaller for this beginners class so that all students can get full instructions from the teacher. You will NOT finish the whole quilt in class, but you will leave with all the information necessary to complete the project. After taking this class, and you feel like you want something more challenging, you might want to take a look at our Paper Piecing classes with Eileen Urbanek.
ATTENTION
On Feb 5th-7th 2024, Donna will be teaching the pattern Prism Table Runner, NOT the Desert Sky pattern. This is still a beginner friendly pattern. Please make sure you have the correct pattern and fabrics picked out for this date.
