Colour Bugs
Colour Bugs Workshop is split into Two Zoom sessions – 10 AM – 1 PM. Two techniques in one workshop! In session one, Linda will guide students through her liberating and fancy-free slash ‘n sew improv technique while making cute colour bug blocks – no ¼” seams to follow, no rules and stress-free piecing. Next, in session two, she’ll guide students through sewing perfect curves with her handy tips and tricks. After a few practice blocks, students are guaranteed to conquer their fear of sewing curves. Both techniques come together in one class while making this cute bug quilt! Colour Bug Pattern is included in the workshop fee.
