Two, half day Workshop: 8 hours of instruction via Zoom

Saturday, June 27 and Sunday, June 28, 2026

9:00 – 1:00 PM EST both days

The Foundation Paper Piecing Faces workshop begins with drawing paper piecing templates that will be used to create your own original face. Jamie will discuss how to choose the colors for your face, value in the fabrics, along with using prints and solids. You will draft final paper templates and create sections that are sewable, and then used to create your face. You will complete one or more faces that you can quilt into a small wall hanging or add to a quilt.
