"Diamonds and Doors" Workshops with Heather Kojan

Diamonds on a String:

Scraps taking over your sewing space? This is the workshop for you! We'll use up lots of strips of fabric (strings!) to create this bold and dynamic quilt. A little bit of foundation piecing is involved (don't panic - just one line of sewing!) and then we're on our way! Have fun with this class and let your fabrics do the work!
