Ingrid Alteneder - Friday 10 June 2022 - 6.00pm to 9.00pm (BST)

Online Interactive Workshop: FPP: Dog & Cat Quilt Blocks!

We're really excited to be hosting another FPP class with one of the best pattern designers and teachers in the business, Ingrid Alteneder of @joejuneandmae In this class you will finish your wonderful Labrador quilt block and through the step by step process understand how to complete your FREE cat pattern in your own time. Ingrid has very kindly offered all students a free pattern (see picture attached) for those cat lovers amongst you! Of course if you would rather make the cat in class you can! Ingrid will be teaching you the principles of FPP which can be applied to any pattern.

Introduction by Ingrid:-

I'm really loving working with CraftyMonkies students, its always such a relaxed small intimate group and a lot of fun! FPP can be tricky sometimes for people to understand but in my classes I love it when our students suddenly 'get it' and are able then to create these wonderful blocks in a fairly easy manner and very quickly. I'm also very excited to bring this brand-new pattern to CraftyMonkies, he was modelled on my friends beautiful dog and I hope you like him! If you would prefer to make the cat in class, that's fine, as long as you understand the principles in the first half an hour of the class you will then be able to work alongside the rest of the students and make the cat!
