Learn the gentle art of Hand piecing, creating your own templates. Explore the design possibilities of the Elongated Hexagon. Grow in confidence as we use fabric as a design tool. Big stitch hand quilting with Perle no 8 cotton will be demonstrated as well as how to put together an envelope cushion cover and how to cut and sew on a binding to complete the cushion after quilting.

(If a cushion is not your ‘thing’ , you can start a table runner, wall hanging or a Quilt)

This is a great scrap project too.
