This project uses Charise Creates' Paper Pieced Crayon Block and makes a perfect gift. Make one for each of your kids’ teachers!

Are you intimidated by the mention of paper piecing but haven't yet tried it out? In this class you'll discover how addictive paper piecing can be, and why it's such a swell process for achieving perfect points. Not only will you get exposed to foundation paper piecing, but in this class, you'll also learn how to make a cute zipper pouch, including inserting your own zipper!

About Joey Strait:

My passion has been quilting for the past twenty years – I’m sure I was born in a pile of Fat Quarters! I started teaching 15 years ago in the Newbury Park Senior Center and found it so rewarding, I opened up my own Quilt Shop in Ventura. Quilt Ventura has been a dream come true for me, but sadly we closed in 2017. My favorite classes to teach are patchwork both by hand and machine, hand and machine Applique, and machine Quilting. I have even taught Fabric Painting and how to use your fabrics to create beautiful art quilts.

I appreciate the traditional quilts; I love the contemporary fabrics and aspire to a modern approach to quilting – always open to new techniques and tools!
