LIL’ TWISTER

advanced beginner

We fell in love with this small quilt and the unique way it is pieced, cut, and then pieced again. Using 5” squares, you can create this little twister in no time at all.

tile quilt revival

applique advanced beginner

Traditional tile quilts are a unique and somewhat obscure form of applique. The quilts are constructed with small pieces of cotton fabric appliquéed in a random manner to a white background, leaving a narrow space between the pieces which serves as the “grout” between the tiles. Join Becky to explore this intriguing form of applique.

Class fee: $25.00
Instructor: Becky Hagen
