Ingrid Alteneder - Sunday 06 March 2022 - 4.00pm to 7.00pm (GMT)

Online Interactive Workshop: FPP - The Lotus Flower!

Having endured all manner of internet connection problems with Storm Eunice during the original planned date for this class on Saturday 19 February, the lovely & hugely talented Ingrid Alteneder agreed to join us once again to run this Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) workshop that's bound to get you excited! In this three-hour class Ingrid's theme ties in nicely with our Mindfulness campaign that will run across our social media channels throughout February: FPP: The Lotus Flower - here's hoping no pesky weather gets in the way of the re-organised event!

Introduction by Ingrid:-

Hey there all you Monkies fans: Happy New Year! My name is Ingrid and I’m going to be your FPP instructor for this workshop. I’ve been working with fabrics all my life, first as a fashion buyer and then for my own fashion label. I’ve been quilting since high school and started 2019 my online business with FPP patterns.
