New Class! Boardwalk Quilt
Johanna has a new class this Spring! Boardwalk Quilt, originally designed by Ariga Wilson for RK Fabrics, offers a great opportunity to create a gradient or random layout in prints, solids or a mix of both. Johanna will be bringing a modified construction process to this beginner and fat quarter friendly quilt, including her signature efficiencies!
Register for Boardwalk Quilt starting Thursday April 4, from 5:30-8:30pm for 5 sessions and let's see your version of this playful patchwork motif come together!
Image above - Johanna used our Sorbet Kona Solids Fat Quarter Bundle (10pcs.) plus 1.5m of Kona Blueprint to create a slightly smaller class sample measuring 64" x 65”. For the full pattern size consider one of our Kona Colour Card Rows (12pcs.) and 1.5m of an accent colour.
Reach out and ask us for help with any class supplies you have questions about. Email shop@theworkroom.ca and we'll work to get you successfully set up for a workshop.
