Chalk cloth, counting and patchwork...


 

Have you dropped in and seen the sweet quiet book Maritza made for this month's patchwork class? Using chalk cloth, Jenn Ski's "Ten Little Things" line and Moda's tutorial plus more bias tape than we want to blog about - she created a soft book that can entertain any toddler. After making the sample, we thought it was a terrific introduction to patchwork. Just one page of this soft book will introduce you to the various skills necessary to begin your patchwork adventure. Rotary cutting, piecing, quilting and binding all in one page. Each subsequent page will help you hone those skills and you'll be ready to tackle your first throw quilt!

Read more about the book on Maritza's blog! And we hope you'll join us for the class on Saturday, May 12th at 1 p.m.
