Intro to Paper Piecing with Annie Chavez - Saturday, Oct 25, 12:00 to 3:00, $45

Have you ever wondered what to do with your fabric scraps? In this fun and beginner-friendly class, Annie will guide you through the basics of foundation paper piecing—a versatile quilting technique that turns small pieces of fabric into beautiful designs.

You’ll start with a simple pine tree block to learn the method, then move on to creating a maple leaf, heart, or a larger pine tree. Each block will be perfectly sized to fit into Carol Doak’s Keepsake Framed Cards, making them ideal for personalized holiday greeting cards or thoughtful handmade gifts.

Small rotary cutter (18mm or 28mm suggested, cutting mats will be provided)
An Add an Eighth Plus or Add a Quarter Plus ruler
