Sherri Lynn Wood Class Recap

Friday Modern Patchwork Improv Class

Friday's class was Modern Patchwork and Saturday class was Patchwork Doodle.
We had a great time diving into Improv Patchwork.  It was challenging and rewarding for all. 
At the end of each class, we gathered to discuss our pieces and answered the questions What surprised us?  What did I learn? What was satisfying about the outcome? Or dissatisfying?
And most important...Yes And!
