Fun and Games in Quilting with Mel Beach
It's game on for this playful twist on quilting! Join me as I share my nine favorite ways to incorporate fun and games into my quilting including rolling the dice to explore new design possibilities, playing card inspiration, and of course everything is awesome when Lego bricks are involved! I'll share insights into the games I play and their fun results. I hope to inspire you to develop a game plan for adding some creative play into your day!
The speaker will be presenting her lecture via Zoom.
