Make It Simpler Workshops: About Anita's Classes

http://makeitsimplerworkshops.blogspot.com/2010/01/01-03-10-608pm.html

Workshops with Anita Grossman Solomon. Road to California 2017. The workshops are six hours with generally a one-hour break for lunch. If we begin at 9:00 am we'd conclude at 4:00 pm.

My techniques are invisible; your quilt looks like you. It won't be recognizable as a Make It Simpler quilt. Only your rotary cutter will know for sure.
