Butterfly Fields Block of the Month - In Person
Join Trisha for this skill-building sew-along using the Wonder Curve Ruler. Create 20 whimsical butterfly blocks, the perfect fusion of modern and traditional. Build your piecing skills and learn curved piecing the Sew Kind Of Wonderful way while getting your social sewing fix. There is a kit available for purchase that includes all the fabrics to make the pattern cover quilt or use your stash as this quilt is very scrap friendly.
The first class session will focus on reviewing the whole Butterfly Fields pattern, cutting your fabric and keeping cut pieces organized for successful piecing. The following seven meetings will focus on piecing two or more different butterfly blocks per month. The last class session will be assembling your blocks into the quilt top and celebrating your finish.
Those attending the in person class will also have access to the virtual class. Links to join the live virtual classes will be sent prior to the class date and access to the recorded session will be available after the class date. Download the recorded session and watch when your schedule allows.
