Hi TMQG Members,
Remember to sign up for our Dresden Neighborhood half-day
workshop with Kim Lapacek of Persimon Dreams on Wednesday, May 29th from 9:30
am - 2 pm. During this class, you'll learn how to make Kim's unique block and
pick up some tips and tricks along the way. You can learn more about Kim's work
at her website, https://kimlapacek.com/
and sign up on the TMQG blog.
Curious about what the Dresden Neighborhood looks like?
Check out the attached pictures (courtesy of Kim) for inspiration and examples
of the many creative possibilities! Rumor has it some members may be creating
spooky Halloween neighborhood quilts... what a hoot!
We hope to see you there!

Optional:
10" Diameter rotating cutting mat (or larger but not
too large so it fits in your sewing area)
Basting Pins - one can baste the quilt before adding the roofs, windows, and doors to the neighborhood. This will allow for less quilting needed later but makes it a bit bulkier to work. 100% up to the quilter.
