Saturday, April 6, 2022, 10 AM to 4 PM
Seams Sew Easy Quilt Shop’s event center, 2326 Mack Road
Beth Helfter the inventor of the Accordion Sewn HSTs™ method will teach her half square triangle technique while creating the Carpenter’s Apprentice. You’ll master the Accordion Sewn HSTs™ within the first 45 minutes – really, you WILL! – and move on to learn how they go beyond just a way to make HSTs scrappier but can be used to create ordered accordions that lay out blocks and borders like butter. You’ll never want to make HSTs any other way again!
Class preparation provided once you are registered: Cutting homework to be completed before class. You will be glad you did!
