Join Valerie Nesbitt and Emma Randall for a Pineapple Patchwork weekend in Surrey

Pineapple Pizzazz with Valerie Nesbitt and Emma Randall

Over the weekend you’ll work on this traditional favourite which has been updated to be easy to sew and is even jelly-roll friendly.

The acrylic ruler, which is included in the course fee, is designed by Creative Grids for use with the rotary cutter. It allows you to stay safe, keeps the block perfectly sized at each stage and gives options for 6′′ blocks, 8′′ and 10′′ blocks

You can choose to make colour co-ordinated quilts or it’s also a great way to use up your scraps.

Rotary cutting skills and machine sewing are essential for this weekend.
