Class will begin by learning how to use fabric dye pastels and then colorizing the nine 4×4? bird block prints provided in your kit. Then let the stitch begin!

Your finished blocks can be framed individually or stitch together in any combination to create a larger art quilt or strung together to create a set of pennants.
