Along the way, she'll share tips on composition and colour pairing drawn from her design background, so your postcard feels intentional, not accidental. No quilting experience required — just a willingness to play with fabric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eYou'll Leave With\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial,sans-serif;\"\u003e1–2 completed fabric postcards, ready to mail or frame\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial,sans-serif;\"\u003eA working knowledge of fabric layering and sewing construction\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial,sans-serif;\"\u003eConfidence in mixing fabric scraps into cohesive compositions\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial,sans-serif;\"\u003eNew techniques to bring into your own fabric or mixed-media practice\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Refreshments\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial,sans-serif;\"\u003eAll fabric, thread, and tools are provided.
