Quiltworx Retreat/Workshop

I am very excited to offer my 5th event with Hyggeligt Fabrics, certified Quiltworx instructor. The workshop is a 5 day adventure in all things foundation paper piecing. Summer Solstice, Riptides or Wishing Star would be good starters for the first time Quiltworx project.
