THE PROJECT
Details of the project will be announced later, but as mentioned, it’s a mixer-style pattern. Kits must be purchased for this workshop from Thimble Towne. We will provide you with a variety of popular fabric collections to choose from! Kits will be available exclusively through Thimble Towne, and as part of the program fee you’ll receive a 6 month subscription to Quiltster! That means you’ll be able to mix and match quilt blocks planned for the Project and fabric from the various collections to see what your finished quilt will look like before you buy a stitch of fabric. Once you’ve designed your perfect quilt, Quiltster generates the kitting information you can then forward to Thimble Towne who will kit it for you! You’ll end up with an exclusive heirloom quality quilt that is uniquely YOU!
