Sandy Mackay

Those of you who’ve been in the studio lately will appreciate Sandy’s amazing appliqué and hand-quilted projects.  And now she’s sharing share her techniques with CQ members for free!

This members-only workshop has 2 sessions.  By the end, you will have the skills to hand-quilt curves, straight lines, and points.  Sandy had designed a 20″ square quilting block that will become a beautiful pillow cover, if you’d like!
