Welcome

Lecture by David Owen Hastings - Quilt Labels to Love

Some of you will remember David from his Indi-Go-Modern workshop in 2021. He’s Zooming in from Washington state to talk about labels and make sure we’re putting them on our quilts. He’ll be back with us Oct. 28 with his workshop Inspired by Architecture. You can sign up for the remaining spaces in the South Florida Modern store.
