Let’s Play! Gather up your leftover blocks to create a fabric quilt book! Using a few stray blocks, buttons, ribbons or even yo yo’s, you spend the day creating fun and improvisational pages to fill your quilty book. Your book might tell a story, be a gift for a toddler, or simply showcase your love of quilting. You decide! Pati will share a few bookmaking techniques that transfer well to fabric books, including interactive pages that fold out, hold something in a pocket or pop up to greet you! She will also have tips on how to jazz up or resize a block, along with how to curate a cohesive story with what you have. Most of all, it is a day to jumpstart your creativity while adding personality and purpose to your pile of lonely quilt blocks.
This project may be done with a sewing machine or hand stitched. Both ways are fun!
