May 9: Phyllis Vandergriff of Fabric Creations

Phyllis Vandergriff of Fabric Creations is known for designing quick projects that look complicated. See how faux chenille, combined with frayed edge (rag) seams, can give dimension to your quilts and wearables. Learn what tools and techniques have worked for her including her own 1/2 Marking Ruler.

Her trunk show will feature the designs quilters and sewers have been raving about across the country including those featured in McCall’s Quick Quilts, Clotilde and Nancy’s Notions catalogs. Hear tips on the best fabric choices and sweatshirt choices.

The meeting is at 7:30 p.m. May 9 at Webster Groves Presbyterian Church, 45 West Lockwood Ave., Webster Groves, MO. Enter from the parking lot east of the church.
