UFO NIGHT - Stitchin & B##@*! with the GIRLS - TUES., Feb. 21, 6:00-?
Stashers---I am so ready for Spring, aren’t you?? Let’s start by making Twin Sisters Quilt from Quilts Through the Seasons! Choose to make a wallhanging or larger-your choice. This is another technique where you get two blocks for your efforts-a positive and a negative.
Look at the sample in the shop or on pp 102 and 119 to see what’s coming. Remember to do your homework (pick your fabric and pair them) so we can make the most of class time! Fabric selection and supply list is on page 103 and yardage is on page 104. Read through the rest of the instructions before class so things make sense when we start working together. Don’t forget the new start time is 12:00 and we go later.
