Find out how "Bloomin' Simple"  foundation paper piecing can be with the right tools, tips and teacher, in this 3-Hour Studio Class. Christine will introduce this bright and cheerful design along with unique methods that will make the process easier and fun for you. Fussy fabric placement, working with directional fabrics, and learning how to work with angled seams is reason enough to sign up! 

A new cutting technique that can expedite your cutting, for this block and for larger FPP patterns, will also be explained and used in this class. Additional designs and samples will be on display. 

Note: This Studio Class is offered twice, once in the morning, and again in the afternoon. Sign up for one, or both if you want to make another block and hone your skills. This custom block, by Larkspur Lane Designs, was revised just for you and this studio class by FPP Designer, Susan Cook. No FPP experience is required, only basic sewing knowledge.
