Mary Harrigan
Do you have paper piecing issues? Are your log cabin squares a touch wonky? Sue’s class is the answer to both of these problems. Join Sue as she helps you create one log cabin square using log cabin paper piecing paper. Use your new skills to create a log cabin quilt of your choice.

• Basic sewing supplies, cutting board, scissors, rotary cutter, seam ripper
• Glue stick
• Add-a-Quarter ruler (at least 12” long)
• Two-and-a-half-inch square for block center. This is traditionally a red fabric, but it is your block!
