Description
Take part in our special artist-in-residence weekend with quilt artist Lesley Storts of Storts Market!
Learn all about English Paper Piecing by making a hexagon block. You will learn several techniques including:
–making templates and “windows” to identify which parts of fabric to cut
–studying and identifying various elements within fabric to “fussy cut” to make creative EPP blocks
–tracing template onto fabric and cutting pieces
–basting fabric onto paper pieces via 2 different methods (thread baste or glue baste)
–stitching pieces together in sections and then sections sewn together to complete block
Your single block can be the springboard for a future quilt or you can incorporate your block into a small project such as a mug rug or pincushion.
