Expanded Convergence with Pam Doffek
Pam Doffek will teach “Expanded Convergence” on Saturday July 19 from 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. at the Bradfordville School House Community Center, 6808 Beech Ridge Trail, Tallahassee, 32312.


“Expanded Convergence” takes the basic principles of Ricky Timm’s “Convergence” technique and expands them to larger sizes, accounting for various sizes of strips; some bigger to make the sewing easy. Students can work with any fabric square sizes from 18” X 18” to 36 X 36”. Pam has shown examples before and will in subsequent QU meetings.
Supplies list upon paid registration.
ONLINE REGISTRATION OPEN THROUGH JULY 11
