Intro to Paper Piecing Workshop



Paper piecing is a simple, straight forward method of sewing a design for a block or project. It is a technique that some shy away from, until they learn how easy it is! Using Mary Hertel's book "Paper Piecing All Year Round" patterns workshop participants will learn the basics to carry them into success.  The book will be used as the basis for the Textile Studio's 2023 Paper Piecing BOM. Continuation in the 2023 BOM is not a requirement for attendees. A supply list and information on how to purchase the book will be made available after registration.  Participants must have their own copy of "Paper Piecing All Year Round" which is available at the Textile Studio, a 10% discount provided for those registered for the workshop (book retails at $21.95). The book provides 2 block patterns per month in addition to patterns and ways to use the finished paper-pieced blocks.

Workshop will be held at the Uptown Blanco Retreat House located on 3rd Street.
