The Pillow will have a machine appliquéd bear on a background fabric and a border fabric to frame the pillow. After a little practice for sewing machine control, and basic sewing skills, the students will get “Quilt Cash” to go shopping at the vendors to pick out fabric for their pillow and the quilt. This is an active class that will keep the students busy for 2 days. If time permits students may have the opportunity to create other items such as a tote bag and zip pouch.
