If you wish to participate in this workshop you will need to have on hand the following supplies. Please have your pieces cut before the meeting in order to save time.  See below.

Coordinating Fabrics:

but you need two coordinating fabrics for each pincushion.
(2) 8" x 20" coordinated scraps will also work for one pincushion.]
