Reviews
This isn't a class, just a moment to complain and brag. I was googling tonight and found 2 reviews for my shop from a disgruntled ebay seller who I let known that she didn't know how to pack a sewing machine (I bought an old Pfaff for display and it came in broken up ... I have witnesses!). When I informed her, she insisted it was my fault, blah, blah, blah...to get back, she found a reference to my store where she could add a review without review! How upsetting. However, later I found this amazing review from a summer visitor. Perked me right up! Read it at http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/readstorereview.pl?readreview=1&ID=1233

Paper Pieced Wall Quilt
( 1 to 4 )
Jeannette Rossi will teach you the "ins and outs" (or should we say "sewing and ripping"?)of paper piecing while you construct this 36" square wall quilt. The quilt uses a focus print and gradients of 3 colorways. There will be homework between the 2 sessions. The sample is at the Portland store. If you are visiting and can only make the first session, you will get all the information you need to become a PPP(Perfect Paper Piecer). $35 includes pattern and handouts only; materials extra. Contact the Portland store for more information.
Event Location: Portland For more information contact: missdaisy65@aol.com Occurs every 2 weeks on Tue from August 5, 2008 to August 19, 2008. Next occurence on August 5, 2008. |
