November Workshop
Saturday, November 8, 2025, 9 AM- 3 PM
David Sirota will teach paper piecing for the 21st century. Are you curious about paper piecing? Do you and paper piecing already have a love/hate relationship? Do you love the accuracy you achieve, but hate the process of getting there? Well, this class will change that to a LOVE, and kind of an addictive relationship.
We’ll be using the versatile, graphic, complex, quite simple Storm at Sea pattern to learn David’s “No More Tears” © method of paper piecing. Although we won’t be finishing the entire project in class, you’ll have a good start, and the tools you’ll need to finish it at home, in half the time you’d expect from paper piecing.
Cost is $45.00 for members, $55.00 for non-members. Contact the Guild at rrqmiddletown@gmail.com to sign up.
