The PTQG April Workshop will be held on Friday April 25, 2025, from 10 am to 4 pm. Jennifer Houlden will present the workshop, “Wild And Spectacular Flowers.”
This class will teach you how to design with fabrics, vibrant colors, focal points and free motion fun. Learn how to create a whimsical flower, a majestic tree or any other object that sparks your creativity. Then, learn how to jazz up the background and borders to add depth and dimension without overshadowing your focal point. These finishing touches will add flair and personality to your quilt creation. This fun and relaxed workshop will be filled with laughter and learning whether you are a seasoned quilter or a beginner.
