Coming in February! New Block-of-the-Month
Tea Party Designed by Wendy Williams The quilt finishes at about 82 1/2" square. This beautiful block-of-the-month program will start in February 2018. During this 10-month program, you will receive the patterns and fabrics to make the quilt top including borders and binding. Many of the fabrics shown are out of print so we'll find substitutes that match in color & feel. Each month you’ll receive the pattern and fabrics for a portion of the quilt. Each month’s installment will be introduced on the 3rd Saturday of the month from 1:30 to 2:30. Trudy Johnson will introduce each segment, offer tips on construction, and provide any assistance needed on new techniques.
