    Finishing Touches: Creative Cards and Labels for Gifting and Treasuring Your Quilts
    A New Member Workshop from Hannah Parks (@halfsquarehannah)

    In this class, learn two of Hannah’s favorite ways to document her quilts. First, she’ll show you her freezer paper method of making miniature quilt blocks on cardstock, which makes for a sweet memento to gift alongside a quilt. Then she’ll share her method of making quilt labels out of selvedges. This class will inspire you to document your quilts in creative and playful ways, whether you’re gifting them or treasuring them in your own home.

    Hannah Parks is a quilter based in Peacham, Vermont. She enjoys colorful improv piecing, playful hand quilting, and digging into piles of scraps and selvedges. When she’s not quilting, you’ll find her reading fantasy novels, lifting weights, or building quilt forts with her two young kids.

    Thank you, members. You fuel our work!
