​
Lecture: Why I Learned to Love Paper-piecing.
In person at Grace Episcopal Church
A bit of back story about my life as a fine artist, illustrator, product designer, designer of fabrics for the quilting industry and why I taught myself paper-piecing and adore it despite losing a bit of hair on the journey.
Workshop: You Too Can Have Paper Piecing Fun!
In person at Grace Episcopal Church
You must be vaccinated to attend and show proof. Please wear a mask.
For those who want to embark on the paper-piecing joy ride. You don’t have to be afraid!
We will cover the basics of foundation paper-piecing in the traditional style where you get to enjoy ripping paper and throwing it everywhere! And toward the end of the workshop I will show you one way to design your own paper-pieced block with construction paper. Yes! It’s back to kindergarten days and if nothing else we will have fun.
