Quilted fabric postcards are a fantastic way to use scraps, try new techniques, experiment with color and thread...and bring a smile to family and friends around the globe. Sarah will teach students how to make quilted fabric postcards, provide guidance on different material options and finishing techniques, and share tips and tricks she learned while making over 200 postcards (so far). Students will leave the workshop with at least 1 finished postcard, and possibly many more!
