Three station demo. Learn how to make a pinwheel pincushion, a baby bib with an applique motif on front and a card holder (like a credit card). We will be breaking up in three groups. Each group will get to spend 10 minutes at each demo station. Our goal is to teach you so that you might make a few of these items for our boutique booth at the quilt show.
