Follow The Stars Club
Leianne $99 + pattern
This Club class drew great interest last term,
and so we are opening a 2ND new club
Come join us each month to work on Tradewinds
especially if you own a LeMoyne Ruler!
Leianne is a great fan of all things from Studio 180 because you get detailed
piecing with great, fast and easy piecing and cutting that does not stress
you! Very impressive “Points” for your friends!
Many have looked at the Tradewinds pattern with the combinations of block units and how they can
be positioned to create great things! Come jump in to see how this is made!
Leianne will open your minds to all the possibilities that these techniques can create. You can apply
them to so many different quilts. There are a wide variety of “Technique Cheat Sheets” that will make
you groan – details made easy! The plan is to make a variety of stars and build your own Sampler
quilt through the year!
