Shannon Fabrics Brand Ambassador Susan Hastings will be teaching two session of the Easy Stitch & Flip Quilt class. A longarm quilter who specializes in quilting with Cuddle®, Susan will have oodles of tips and tricks to help you learn to make the coziest Cuddle® quilts. You’ll get started on one of Shannon Fabrics Wee One kits and learn the insider techniques for their quilt-as-you-go (QAYG) method. You can make this sweet Wee One Love Ewe kit.

Or you can make one of these darling Hippo kits: choose from Handsome Hippo or Heavenly Hippo:

You can join Susan in the Wednesday, May 2^nd class or Saturday, May 5^th class . Your choice! There are lots of other classes to attend as well, so check out their class catalog.

Be sure to check out all the vendors, too! If you’re looking for more Cuddle® quilt kits, put Nuttall’s on your Must-Visit list! They’ll be in booth #501 with a variety of Shannon Fabrics products.

We look forward to seeing you at the show!
