Scrappy Mountains: Using Foundation Paper

Saturday, July 25, 9:00am – 12:00pm, Marion Public Library, Maker’s Space, 600 S Washington Street, Marion, IN.

Mountains of scrappy fabric await! In this hands-on workshop, Tracey Barber teaches you the fundamentals of foundation paper piecing using Leila Gardunia’s beautiful Scrappy Mountains pattern. You won’t finish every block in the time allotted — but you’ll leave with solid technique, real momentum, and a project you’ll be excited to complete at home.

Choose your size: the large version (58×68) uses all 100 blocks from the booklet, while the smaller version (36×40) uses about half. Either way, the result is a stunning scrappy quilt that makes great use of your fabric stash.

All supplies are available through Lyons Quilting. Give them a call at 303.823.6067.  They ship for free or Tracey can bring the supplies to class.
