Strip Basket Block
August 31, 10 AM - 4 PM
Instructor - Becky Stowers Class Fee - $30
This month's quilt class at the Barn is a Table Runner made using strip pieced Basket blocks. The Basket block was inspired by a block in Edyta Sitar's book, "Friendship Strips and Squares". Instructions given out in class will cover how to make the Table Runner, but you will have enough strips to make blocks for a quilt if you prefer.
What you will need to bring:
Sewing machine
Rotary cutter and ruler
Thread
Fusible Web - for applique, if you will be doing raw edge applique. Becky likes to use Steam a Seam 2.
