Workshop: Shapes – Simple to Spectacular
Even if you failed geometry, you will love this class. We will take the basic square, triangle and circle and turn them into works of art! Along the way, Libby will show you designs such as Radiant Circles, Twist & Turn Squares and Tapered Triangles. Foolproof piecing, easy perfect circles, standout bobbin drawing and many other machine techniques make this class a real winner.
