WORKSHOP #1 - "Quilts on an English Farm Workshop"

Saturday May 3rd join us for "Quilts on an English Farm" workshop.
"Country Snowballs" is the quilt from the book you will work on for this workshop.
Kaffe will give a short lecture on this quilt and what to expect in selecting and creating your color pallet for your specific creation.
You will work with both Kaffe and Brandon to go on a personal shopping tour in our quilt shop to choose the Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics that you, Brandon and Kaffe select.
You will then cut and place your fabrics on your flannel design wall grid with Kaffe and Brandon's help. Once your color and placement are complete, you will be taking the flannel wall grid home to starting sewing your creation.
You WILL NOT be sewing in the class. NO SEWING MACHINES are needed for this workshop.
This is all about learning from Kaffe's lecture on how to design the best quilt using his color placement and design techniques.
DO NOT bring any sewing machines to this workshop.
