Pieceful Demos & BOM's - Fall '08

Our Demos will usually run about ½ hour and there are usually no fees for the short lecture; however, some demos may require a pattern or other supplies to complete the project.  Occasionally we will request that you register and pay in advance so that we make sure to have enough patterns and kits available.

Wool Flower Basket Block-of-the-Month *NEW*

Learn the best techniques for working with wool as you create this 4 month block of the month.  This adorable wall hanging comes from the pattern “Flower Baskets” by Wooden Spool Designs.  There will be a free demo each month and kits for you to purchase.  Bring your hand sewing supplies and we’ll sit and sew after the demo.  We will make two blocks for the first 3 months, and month 4 we will put it all together.  Keep up and you’ll have the entire quilt done before Christmas!
