Patchwork is everywhere: upholstery, gadget covers, accessories, home décor and of course, quilts. Learn to make a few 7-9" modern patchwork blocks and transform them into potholders.

Of course, patchwork isn't just about cutting and sewing. Learn scrap stashing, scrap busting, and basic color theory. Break some old-fashioned patchwork rules - mix fabric weights and materials, use recycled t-shirts or jeans, cut wonky lines - get creative! Bring some fabric scraps to mix with ours.

Saturday and Sunday, March 24 & 25
