Plano ASG Sew Along & Show Off

What’s better than one Sew Along? Two Sew Alongs!

Plano ASG is calling all quilters and garment sewers alike to participate in a Sew Along beginning Friday, February 7th. Over the six week event, participants have the option to quilt a table runner or table topper. Or if fashion is your passion you may elect to sew Vogue 8897.

 

Quilting participants will be led by Maggie Tinnin, while garment sewers will be led by Louise Schubert.

Table Runner or Table Topper

The table topper is 37” x 37” and the runner is 17” x 62”.

  1. Can’t wait to go fabric shopping for the quilting project. I already have my fabric for the garment. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s creations, the good, the learning process and the final outcome!
