Walking Foot Quilting: Take the Scenic Route with Catherine Redford

Special guest teacher: Catherine Redford

Wednesday, December 3, 1:30PM- 5:30PM

Don't miss out on this opportunity to take a class with Catherine in a small cozy setting. Space is limited but her knowledge isn't!

Catherine combines her two loves in one class!  Add hand stitching to your walking foot quilting for maximum impact. Make samples of different machine stitched grids and hand embroidery combinations that will have you planning your quilting before you even start piecing your quilt top.

This class is suitable for anyone who wants some fresh ideas for finishing their quilts. Novices and experienced quilters are all welcome and will leave class inspired to get their quilt tops made into quilts.
