Irene MacWilliam Workshop on Saturday 10th March

Irene MacWilliams will be the guest speaker at the March meeting.

Irene will be giving a workshop on "Fantastic Quilts from a Standing Start: Design and Construction for the Frightened" on Saturday 10th March.

According to Irene this workshop is about:
"Pain free patchwork that is bound to be unique. I want the beginner and the non-confident to come to my class. No maths required. I guarantee anyone can produce fascinating blocks. We start with a basic block to cover foundation piecing. Students then go on to make their own original blocks. Students will gain an understanding of designing their own blocks and how to alter commercial foundation blocks to make them individual".


There are only a few places left for this workshop, so please contact a committee member a.s.a.p. if you wish to book a place!
