Susan Smith Workshop: Feathers Foundations
February 18 @ 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Building confident feather designs—from simple shapes to graceful variations – Feathers don’t have to be complicated to be beautiful. We’ll begin with a simple, spineless feather and build from there—learning how to turn corners, bend feathers, and explore several shape variations that add interest without being complicated. This workshop focuses on creating versatile feather designs you can use confidently in practical quilting situations.
Location: Deb Smith’s Quilting Studio, Limit 10 people (If there is enough interest an additional class can be added.)
Cost: $50
