Creativebug Join Heidi Parkes this October to sew so many circles in a month-long quilt-along!
This event centers around Heidi’s class How to Appliqué Circles Three Ways but encourages you to take it farther. We’ll be sharing on Instagram on Tuesdays and Fridays. (You can share on other days too, if you want!)
How to Appliqué Circles Three Ways will be FREE on Creativebug throughout October 2024.
Think a little bit about how you’d like to participate. Will you make a quilt, clothing, a pillowcase, etc? What are your initial thoughts on scale or color? Will your Quilt-Along piece contain ONLY circles, or do you foresee adding other elements and shapes too?
ALWAYS: Use #CircleQAL and tag @heidi.parkes in the photo and in the caption (you can also tag @creativebug).
