Tacoma Workshop - January 20, 2016

Tacoma Quilters of Litchfield met for a special class today.
Workshop - It's a wrap with Kim G.

Grab your clothesline....about 3/4" wide strips and start to wrap. Using an 18" Jean needle....wide zigzag stitch... on slow if you are a beginner away you go for a unique basket made by you. What fun!!
Kim made it look fun, easy, and rewarding. Lots of ideas were shared. There are many videos on YouTube. I shared just one also available is a book. "It's a Wrap"

Instructor - Kim

 Ann  T.- she used a different technique and sewed the rope with colorful thread..on one she included a little material. She is creative and many times a forerunner in things we do.
