Add It Up
Peggy Lindsay
$40* +BSS
Class meets two times: Thu, May 2 and 16 ~ 10-2 pm
This quilt is a modern take on the traditional cross
block used during World War 1 to raise money for
the American Red Cross. No two crosses in this quilt
are alike, with partial and “ghost” crosses appearing
throughout. Your quilt will be uniquely yours, with improvised
cross blocks, different fabric textures and the
way you design and construct the background. Class
finishes with a discussion about quilting techniques
for creating the “ghost” images.
