Butterfly Effect - EPP - English Paper Piecing ==NEW DATE ==

Come join Michelle Peters; owner at Watergirl Quilt Co for a day of EPP - English Paper Piecing.  New to EPP, don't worry - this is a hand-sewing class with no experience required.  Michelle will guide you through and throw in some tips and tricks. 

This English Paper Piecing (EPP) pattern is designed for any level sewist. Your finished 24" square makes it perfect for a mini quilt or pillow, but you can continue to grow your piece to any size or use small sections of the pattern for other applications. You can reuse the paper pieces to make many more blocks.

In this class you will learn to fussy cut the fabric using acrylic templates, how to glue baste the pieces, which stitches to use and when, tips for organising your project and ideas for quilting the completed piece. English Paper Piecing gives you a technique for when you want to work with a variety of shapes. It is relaxing and during our workshop you will have time to stitch and chat while making new friends.
