Most Requested Overalls Class # 201
You've seen the book and asked for the class--now you're able to watch as Diana shows you how to stitch this great collection of
original freehand designs. We'll start off easy and work into more challenging designs. This class will give you a good selection of
designs to aid you in finishing your own or client tops. Clamshell Flowers, Windblown Hearts and Paisley Flowers are a few of the
designs featured. You will also become familiar with Cozy's original and easy method of back and forth echoing. Use them for
overall quilting, body-only quilting or background fills as well as adapting them to create many more designs for you to choose from.
Great handouts and door prizes to include the sampler created in class!

sometimes lack luster, unlock your color creativity with this "hands on" program.
