ENGLISH PAPER PIECING with MERLE CADWELL - August 25 Gordonton Hall
English paper piecing (or EPP) involves stabilizing fabric around a paper shape before sewing the pieces together to create intricate designs. It is most effective for designs that don’t have long straight sides but do have numerous set-in corners, such as the hexagon shapes. Because it’s done by hand, it makes the perfect on-the-go project.
We were all impressed with Donna Wards EPP designs at the March meeting now we have an opportunity to learn the techniques from Donna’s mum Meryl.
Class fee $50. Register your interest on Guild day.
