Sew the Pineapple Block with Julia McLeod
About the Event
Take a step-by-step quilting workshop with artist Julia McLeod on how to make this classic, pineapple quilt block using the technique of foundation piecing. A printed fabric foundation serves as your guide. The foundation stays in place - no need to tear anything out like with paper piecing.
In this 4-hour class, Julia will also share a short slide show illustrating the history of the pineapple block, and the many ways that color choices can create dramatically different effects.
You'll be provided with:
- One packet of EZPiecing's Kaleidoscpe Pineapple by Julia McLeod which gives you twelve 10" finished blocks*
- A supply list of suggested fabrics, colors and cutting instructions
- A pdf document of step by step directions to complete the block
This workshop will be recorded and will be made available to class participants for 2 weeks following the lesson.
