| Crazy Quilted Christmas Stocking Workshop with Patti Shreiner Supply List |
| Description: Make a unique crazy quilted top for a holiday motif stocking. Piecing will go quickly by machine. Piecing may be done by hand, but would not be finished for embellishing the top in class. Once the top is patched and basted, we will embellish with a variety of threads and trims. Final assembly will be demonstrated at the end of the class. NOTE: The paper scissors and sewing machine are used for a short time in the first hour or two of class. Consider sharing with a friend. |
