English Paper Piecing is not about speed, perfection, or prior experience. It is about slowing down, working with your hands, and trusting a process that has connected makers for centuries. In this class, we will demystify EPP by breaking it into small, repeatable steps—proving that anyone can do this.
This workshop blends the history of English Paper Piecing with the contemporary curiosity of Einstein tiles, showing how traditional handwork and modern mathematics meet to create some unique projects!

Interested in trying some quilt piecing on your serger?
Has your serger been sitting in a closet for a while, hoping to be taken out for a spin?
This strip-pieced quilt top is fun and easy to make, and it is serger friendly. Sometimes we want a quilt top that is quick and easy, and this one fits the bill, with no fiddly pieces and no tiny seams to match. You can absolutely piece this using a domestic sewing machine; however, if you use a serger, it' s even faster!
So.... dust off that serger (or bring your regular machine) and join us for a strip piecing-palooza.
