Sandra will teach free-form foundation piecing, working with colour (your choice of flowers for colour inspiration), mitred corners and narrow borders. You will create a wall-hanging or table-runner with free form machine quilting and embellishing to finish your masterpiece. As you can see this works beautifully with many fabrics, balis, colourful prints and solids.
