Workshop with AitchBee of Little Patch Pockets on Miniature Quilts

Tuesday 2nd June (10am-4pm) at Woolmer Green Village Hall, Hall Lane, Woolmer Green, Herts SG3 6XA. To book, please contact Deborah.

The cost is £38 per head. If you haven’t already signed up we have a few spaces left, but secure your place by paying please. BACs to Mimram Quilters, id with your name + HB so we can monitor who’s paid.

She has kindly sent some beautiful samples of what she’ll be teaching, which will be on display during our meetings.

This is what she says:

“The largest of the quilts shows all 20 of the blocks included in this miniature workshop pattern. Students will get information on how to make this layout as well as many others. I will show and discuss other uses and ways of finishing miniature blocks. For members who might not feel ready to tackle the really small stuff, I’ve included samples of my ‘Not quite so miniature’ versions. Although still made by Foundation Paper Piecing, their larger size may be less daunting. The larger pattern includes the same twenty blocks, and I will carry enough of both versions for all the students. Full instructions will be given for my method of FPP.”
