May 22, 2024 - Karen Walker

Karen will be offering a 3 hour workshop on the same day as our program, Tuesday, May 21. The workshop will take place from about 12:30ish to about 3:30. Karen will be teaching us a pattern she designed called Smoochie, and has a special method of cutting that will utilize the scraps for the border of this small quilt.
If you are interested in attending, the cost of the class will be $20. The pattern is $8.50.

Information about the Smoochie pattern:
What makes Smoochie different from other X’s and O’x quilts? It’s the border! The pinwheels and half square triangles are made with the leftover trimmings from Corner Triangles used in the X’s and Heart blocks.
The pattern is Fat Quarter Friendly too!
