Country Snowballs Quilt Workshop

The Country Snowballs workshop is based on the quilt pattern in Kaffe Fassett’s book, Quilts on an English Farm, but snowball patterns from some of Kaffe’s other book could also be used. This is a class suitable for beginners who already know how to sew a seam and how to use a rotary cutter. It is also for more advanced quilters who wish to concentrate on complex colour development. This workshop is a study in using variations on a single colour or colour group, or having a more varied palette, as in Kaffe’s original. Keep this in mind when choosing fabrics: find your colour and don’t stray too far from it, or choose from a wider palette. If you would like to explore RED, bring reds, oranges, reddish purples, magenta, warm brown, etc. Please note: No sewing takes place during the workshop.
