This class is designed to simplify the often intimidating process of FPP and make it more accessible, whether you're just starting out or already have experience. Here’s a quick breakdown of what you'll learn in the class: Introduction to Legit Kits’ Revolutionary Block Approach: Instead of using the traditional method, you'll learn how to approach FPP in a more efficient and enjoyable way, avoiding the tedious pre-cutting and complex tools. How to Organize Your Quilt Kit: Proper organization can make a big difference in how quickly and smoothly the sewing process goes. The class will show you how to keep everything in order as you work on your quilt. Time-Saving Tips & Tricks: With over 20 Legit Kits pieced, your instructor will share her experience and teach you quick techniques to make FPP more enjoyable and less frustrating. No Curves or Y-Seams: This method eliminates the need for tricky curves or Y-seams, which can be challenging for many quilters. It keeps things straightforward! Hands-On Learning: You’ll work on a Legit Kit quilt of your choice and leave with the confidence to finish it on your own. This class is a great way to dive into the world of Foundation Paper Piecing without feeling overwhelmed, and you'll be able to walk away with a completed project!

Fussy-cutting can truly elevate a block - and a quilt - to a whole new level. AND, there is so much more available with "fussy-cutting" than simply isolating a specific motif in a patchwork piece! Kelly LOVES to fussy-cut her patchwork: isolating motifs AND strategically cutting fabric to create eye-catching kaleidoscopic and / or secondary designs in square-shaped blocks and beyond. In this inspirational trunk show and presentation, Kelly will discuss how she categorizes fabrics for fussy-cutting and introduce you to a variety of options for letting the fabric do amazing work for you in simple blocks, including the technique she'll be teaching in her Fussy & Fabulous: Magic Squares workshop offered at KC Maker Studio on Saturday, February 8, 2025. This is a trunk show and presentation that you won't want to miss!
