since it requires NO sewing at all. Participants will make two six-inch
trivets or may use their fabric as a starter for a larger project. A wide
variety of practical items including placemats, chair seats and area rugs
both large and small may be created using this method. All materials will be
supplied by the instructor at a cost of $10.00 (cash only) on the evening of
