WorkshopsWe’re up to row 3 – Sunset Strip of Jennie’s Stripy Stripey Story Quilt . It’s a simple form of Seminole which gets you using the angles on your ruler – did you always wonder what they were there for?! And Jennie reminds you that you can use this form of strip patchwork to make a great Ipad cover (holidays are just around the corner) and also that we used this in her previous Block of the Month programme called Superstar.

And still with Jennie, she shares with us a Stained Glass block which she designed herself – you can just download the pattern so no need to re-invent the Hexagon! (and Val loves the bright colours she has used). Watch Now+ |
