Patchwork with Pintucks & Texture

In this class you will make a patchwork block using corded, uncorded, straight, crossed and curved pintucks. You may then use your block to make a cushion, tote bag or table runner. The block demonstrated will be 16” square but yours may be larger or smaller depending on your chosen finished item. You will discover how the pintucks usually associated with a crisp, white, cotton shirt can transform plain fabric into something very versitile, effective and striking.
