T-shirt Quilt Class

Taught by Wendy Martin of Harvest Moon Quilting Company

Have you ever wanted to take that box of T-shirts you have saved for years and make them into a keepsake quilt? This class will start from the very beginning planning to the final stitches. What will you learn: how to design the quilt, keeping your project organized, interface fusing, cutting T-Shirts, fabric selection tips, adding borders, discuss batting choices, tips on binding and lots of sewing tips along the way.
