LIVE ONLINE through the Zoom platform.
Six basic shapes make the building blocks of all free-motion quilting patterns. Learn what they are, how to embed them in your muscle memory BEFORE you go to the sewing machine, and how to combine them to create any pattern. Quilters of all levels can use this technique for either domestic or longarm machines. Based on my book Free-Motion Mastery in a Month: A Block a Day to Machine Quilting Success.

July Meeting - Jackie Lehto - Using Scraps

7/19/2020

Jackie Lehto will present a program on Using Scraps. Don't throw away any more of your scraps and see what you can do with them in this fun & entertaining program!

I love, love, love scrappy quilts and make a lot of my own fabrics from scraps to make traditional and art quilts. With the price of fabric going up due to the new tariff changes, we may need to be more frugal as well as think of the environmental impact of throwing away fabric.
