Hexagons are the trending design element these days. Piecing hexagons used to be difficult, but Eleanor Burns and Quilt in a Day have made the process easy. This class is for quilters who have good skills in rotary cutting, sewing an accurate ¼” seam, and following directions. During this one-day class, students will cut and piece a 14” X 42” table runner in fabrics of their choice. Supply requirements include: a working sewing machine, rotary cutter, mat and ruler, and other basic sewing supplies. Students will receive a complete supply list upon registration. The pattern and templates are included in the class fee. Due to copyright law, every student is required to have his/her own pattern. Grab a friend and sign up today!
