2025-04-26 10:00 - 16:00 (America/Boise) | Boise Rigging Supply, 6750 West Victory Road, Boise, ID, 83709, United States
Guild members Carolyn Blackwelder and Phyllis Kizer would love to share with you the fun, simple “Nine-Patch Pizzazz” technique that they have used to create some very delightful quilts. This is a beginner-friendly endeavor that quilters of any level will enjoy!
To meet fair-use criteria with respect to Judy Sisneros, each person participating in the class should have their own copy of her book, “9-Patch Pizzazz: Fun, Fast, and Finished in a Day.” This is an older book, but is readily available both as a paperback and a digital file from many online sources.
Participants will need a panel that they are willing to cut up, along with a few fabrics that have been selected to go well with the panel. Landscape panels or ones featuring sea life (as in the samples shown) are ideal.
