Welcome to Stitching Cosmos Summer School We are excited to have you participate in our first Summer session of Stitching Cosmos. With this accelerated program we need to make sure you are ready for BOTH the first and second Stitching Cosmos classes with fabric and supplies when you arrive. We will provide fabric and stabilizer for Class #1. This will consist of white and black fabric to make two blocks. This will help ease you into the techniques of the first class. If you have not selected fabric prior to the first class, we will be giving recommendations of what would work best. If this is the case bring at least 4 fat quarters to start practicing on. These fat quarters should read solid. Busy prints are not recommended. At this first class you will also receive the COMPLETE set of handouts for the entire Stitching Cosmos program. This will help you plan ahead for the following four sessions.

It is recommended to purchase accessory feet prior to the next class so we do not run out. (Note: We have 32 students attending the two summer sessions)!
