Still Spaces for Violet Craft! Supplies and Materials Lists

We still have a few spaces left for our Violet Craft workshops and trunk show! See the link here to register! We welcome anyone from the quilting community to join us!

Violet Craft is a paper piecing guru, in both English Paper Piecing and Foundation Paper Piecing, so if you have ever wanted to give these a try, but didn’t know where to start, we have the answer.
