Mariner’s Compass Workshop (1-day)
Friday March 15th AND/OR Saturday March 16, 2024
10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Our 6-hour workshop is an introduction/refresher to foundation paper piecing. We will construct 2 different star/compass designs starting with a very elementary one: a 7”-4 or 8 pointed star and finish off with a 14” wide X 19” high 24-point oval. It’s all the same techniques!
This class provides a safe environment to learn foundation paper piecing, no tiny pieces. You will also learn to calculate how to cut fabric pieces that FIT the different sections. You don’t have to guess or end up with sections that are all bias edge.
Class fee: $30 which includes all patterns and instructions. Supplies list provided with paid registration.
