Program Description

Event Details

Join us on the second Saturday of each month from 10:30am - 12:30pm at the Downtown Library to learn how to step up your sewing game! 

Here's a quilting technique that can be quite a challenge, but if you learn how to "Foundation Paper Piece," you can make tiny, intricate quilt blocks that will amaze your friends and make you look like a pro!

Participants will learn how to read a foundation paper piecing pattern, prepare the foundation paper, choose fabric, sew on (and remove) the paper, and finish the quilt block. This is a skill that can be used in many different sewing applications.

Sewing machine experience is preferred, but not required. Please note that this is a stand-alone project that will be completed in one session.
