Workshop Supplies and Pre-cutting instructions!

Ladies, I am excited about the upcoming workshop for the Scrappy Periwinkle Basket. For those of you who plan to take the workshop, please let me know by May 25th that you’ll be attending so I can order a “periwinkle template” for you and set aside a Periwinkle Scrap Basket & Table Runner Pattern just for you!  The cost for the Template & Pattern is just $8 per person.  I will bring the Template, the pattern and the foundation paper with me to the Workshop for each of you.

This basket will be a great project to use up Scraps from your stash!
