Since we are limited to handwork on the ship, I am teaching a pattern design class and a new class called &#8220;Not your Grandmother&#8217;s Flower Garden&#8221;, based on a quilt from my new book Patchwork Sassaman Style. I will be making 5&#8243; hexagon kits with Sassaman fabrics that we can play with and arrange into a unique composition and eventually hand stitch the pieces together.<\/p>\n<p>Please visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldofquiltstravel.com\/BritishIsles.htm\">Cruise site<\/a> for the complete itinerary. I think you will be as excited as we are! Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year I have an opportunity to do something I&#8217;ve always wanted to do!
