September 19, 2024 Workshop: "String Piecing Reimagined" with Ilene Bartos. String piecing is very easy to do. Colored strips are sewn onto a stabilizer background and then trimmed. Color choices and placement of lights and darks is a vital part of this class. Choose from four different patterns and/or kits, or bring your own fabrics. Available patterns are Arcs, Helix, Hearts, or Connected.
