Stripology Club - Field of Flowers
The monthly Stripology Club is based on GE Design's newest book, Stripology Mixology 2. We will learn how to use the Stripology XL ruler as we begin one of the 16 quilt designs included in the book. This low-cost class time is a fun way to learn a technique and have fun sewing with others in a small class setting. Each month we will begin a different quilt design. Students will cut their fabrics and assemble at least one of the blocks in class. We will piece as many blocks in class as time permits. Students will finish piecing their blocks and will assemble their quilts at home. We will cut fabrics for the smallest size option during class. Students are welcome to cut and piece more blocks at home if they wish to make a larger version of the quilt. This will be a monthly club program. Sign up for one class, or as many as you like. Sign up to make all the quilts in the book, or just a few - it is up to you.
