Be sure you visit the classroom during the Twin Cities Shop Hop. We'll be demonstrating the newest tool by Marti Michell, the Tessellating Windmill. This quilt may look familiar, but is made with a different technique than you may have used before. Use it to make blocks in 8 sizes, ranging from 2" up to 9". With this technique, you'll end up with straight of grain on the outside of your blocks. And the tool has specially engineered corners to help you line up your pieces. You use a "leap frog" technique to lay out your blocks and then chain piece blocks and rows. We'll be demonstrating both Thursday and Friday from 10:00-12:00 and from 1:00 to 3:00.
And be sure to check out our Daisy Basket quilt made with the basket blocks you'll be collecting.
The shop hop is May 3-5. Thursday and Friday, we'll be open from 9am - 9pm. Saturday hours are 9am - 5pm.
Hope to see you there.
