Paper Piecing Club
Paper Piecing Club
Bring your in-progress foundation paper piecing project or start something new. This club is your space to stitch, share, and get inspired with other passionate Paper Piecers! It’s not a formal class, but a “sewcial” gathering to encourage each other and enjoy some creative community time.
New to paper piecing? We recommend taking our It’s Hip to Paper Piece class first. A beginner-friendly introduction to FPP.
New for 2025
Each month, attendees will receive an exclusive 5" FPP block template or pattern designed by Julia (or a special Guest Designer). These surprise blocks may include seasonal motifs, modern designs, or reimagined traditional quilt blocks. A fun treat to sew now or save for later!
With only 11 seats available, everyone gets their own table, and yes, Julia gets to sit and sew too! So grab your scraps, gather your friends, and let’s piece together something amazing.
What to Bring
- Any FPP project of your choice
- Your preferred sewing supplies and tools
- Optional: Fabric scraps to share or swap
Classroom pressing and cutting stations, design wall, and some notions will be available. You can also purchase additional supplies at Hip Stitch during the event.
