ColourBugs & Curves Workshops
Hello! Thank you for your interest in my ColourBug & Curves Workshop!
Workshop Descriptive: Two techniques in one class! First, Linda will guide you through her liberating and fancy free slash ‘n sew technique while making cute colour bugs blocks – no ¼” seams to follow and no rules.
Next, she’ll guide you through sewing perfect curves with her handy tips and tricks - you’re guaranteed to conquer your fear of sewing curves with no tears. Both techniques come together in one class while making this cute ladybug quilt!
If you need assistance please feel free to email Linda at colourwerx@yahoo.com
