Precious Pojagi and Festival of Quilts

 

On Wednesday 30th July (the day before the Festival of Quilts opens) I am offering a full day Academy Masterclass on the Precious Pojagi technique.


Participants will bring along pieces of their precious old lace, embroidery or textiles and we will combine these with white cotton organdie to create an unique wallhanging.


It is the perfect way to show off those special pieces rather than leaving to lie in a drawer for nother year.



There are still spaces on the workshop. The cost is £105.00 which includes lunch and refreshments.

To book please go onto the Festival of Quilts website thefestivalofquilts.seetickets.com/workshops/the-festival-of-quilts-quilt-academy-workshops and search for my workshop which is number 310
