This is for those who like a challenge. You’ll come to class, buy a brown paper sack for anywhere from $10-$20. You can’t open the sack before you pay for the bag (that would be getting a sneak peek and we can’t allow that!) You’ll take the bag and make something – anything, such as a wall hanging, a table runner, a quilt, a jacket, an apron - but it must contain a piece of each fabric we’ve provided, plus what you’d like to add. It should be fun for those of you who like a challenge. On the next Fifth Saturday, you’ll return with your finished project and start again. Each time those in the group will vote on their favorite, and the winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to the shop. |
