Saturday September 9th - Julie the very talented designer behind the Frances Lilly pattern range is tutoring at Rosedale on her beautiful Twilight Clematis quilt. Bookings are essential and $50 deposit is due by 25th August. A requirements list is available upon booking. This is a one day technique class, your background can be done earlier, or you could use a wholecloth as a background if you didnt want to make a lattice background.
