SPRING RETREAT ...

with Helen Kent and Cecilia Slinn

​

After another successful Winter Retreat we return this year with a look at Foundation Paper Piecing. This time we have a quilt project, by popular demand, which uses this technique. This pattern works well for fabulous fabrics with a larger pattern where they can be shown to their best advantage. We will discover the history behind Foundation Piecing and have demonstrations of the different approaches to this wonderful technique which makes your points perfect!
