Stay tuned for future meeting info
September 15 - Marge Tucker class - Circles $50
This class will show you how to do a very unique technique of curved piecing. Developed by your instructor, Marge Tucker, this is a more advanced class but continues the methods and ideas taught in her previous workshops. This workshop could also be a stand-alone.
These curved blocks give added movement and motion and work well with the blocks/creations made in the previous class(es) or with other abstract blocks.
Students will learn free-form curved cutting and curved piecing techniques
