Designing
with Monkey Wrench by Sue Beevers - This class has
been designed with an intermediate to advanced student
in mind, and is based upon an article that I did for
the 40th Anniversary Edition of "Quilters
Newsletter". I sure hope that you like
to piece - a lot - because that's what you'll be doing.
You will be making at least two quilts, and will be
getting ideas for zillions more. Actually, by the time
you're done with this class, you may be convinced that
you will do nothing but Monkey Wrench
based quilts for the rest off your quilting life.
