Convergence Quilt technique with Laurie Grant, $10 per student
Saturday, Sep 18, 9:30am – 3:30pm, six-hour in-person workshop at the Benicia Senior Center
Make small artistic quilts easily and quickly using this magical technique. The term convergence is defined as the process or state of converging, coming together. The convergence technique is one that uses two or more fabrics cut into strips, then sewn together, then cut and pieced together again. We strongly recommend Ricky Tims Convergence Quilts book, which was published in 2003. It is available as a free eBook via Amazon Prime, but may be purchased used or new. Supply List
