Over the course of four sessions, participants will learn foundational layering and stitching methods while creating their own small, quilted patch. Your finished piece can be transformed into a framed artwork, a decorative pillow accent, or a one-of-a-kind patch for clothing.
All supplies are provided–just bring your curiosity and creativity.
This four-part workshop will be held June 2, 4, 9, and 11 from 5:30-6:45 PM. Please plan on attending all four sessions to complete your project.
Open to ages 16 and up. Space is limited, and registration is required. Please visit ligonierlibrary.org/events to register. Registration will close on 5/25.
