“MAKE MINE SCRAPPY”
An all-day Demo/Class/Workshop on how to use up fabrics that you already have in your stash. We begin the day with a detailed demonstration on how to make all kinds of blocks that together can form quilts or smaller projects. Loads of ideas, tips, tricks and techniques.
After a break for elevenses, the demo becomes a class, with loads of one-to-one teaching opportunities, where participants can choose to work on ANY element of the earlier demonstration.
We will take a break for lunch, after which the class re-convenes but now as an all-in workshop, lots of sewing and sharing going on, everyone free to follow their own agenda at their own pace.
We finish with Afternoon Tea at 4.00 p.m., and a chance to evaluate what we have managed to produce or even just to have made a start on, and relax at the end of a good day’s sewing.
(Meet for dinner at 7.30 p.m. for those staying overnight in the area)
