CL-AtticBeg: Attic Window Quilt for Beginners with Liz Granberg-Jerome
An attic window quilt is made by splitting a favorite panel and add light, medium, and dark strips strategically to create the depth of a multi-pane window. Depending on fabric choice, the strips can be attached with mitered corners for a clean finish, or by using half-square triangles in the corners for an easy finish. Liz will guide you through dividing your panel into sections and then adding frames to create the 3D attic window effect. Wed., August 21 from 5:30 to 9pm at the Lumberyard Arts Center.
Cost: $ 45.00
