In our May Creative Sewing club, we are going to learn about paper piecing by making either the Mini Series “Stretched Geese” block by Giuseppe Ribaudo, or a simpler flying geese block that I have designed. The pattern I designed will be $5, due to me in class. We will then construct and quilt the outside of the “Sew Together Bag” by Sew Demented. In June, we will construct the whole “Sew Together Bag”. Please bring all your supplies for the entire project to club with you in May and June. The patterns are special orders, and we will need then both in May. Paper piecing might seem daunting, but I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. It is a great way to get perfect points.
