The Strip Tube Ruler Quilts                                               $20+                                          
Thursday,  March 18    6-9 PM

You know how Carol loves those templates and gadgets.  There are so many unique designs that can be made with this simple technique.  The blocks are all strip pieced and then sewn together in the tube.  By cutting with the strip tube ruler, your block is all pieced and ready to go.  There are so many different layouts.  We are only limited by our imaginations.   You can choose whichever book or pattern you like.  The process is very similar for all  designs.   Book or pattern purchase is required.
