She (Carol Doak is the best!) is wonderful and has a step by step DVD. I have it and its great. I saw it at JoAnns in one of the quilt book sections - the rack that is near the patterns (at least at my store it is located there) Not with all the quilting books!

Carol Doake is the queen of paper piecing. There are tons of blocks on her site for free. Your only problem is picking just one. You can probably use scraps for your first block. Pick something that you can mix other colors with and make a pillow with maybe 4 blocks.

I thought I had something I wanted to learn specifically, as she said bring my own material and pattern and she'd get me going, but I realize in my stupidity, what I thought was ok to paper piece is actually a needle turn applique. (A later class I also signed up for). Long story short, I'm sure they probably have a small kit or something that would work, but my paycheck was half what it should have been due to my illness, so if I can get away with not purchasing anything, or at least limit it to whatever you paper piece with, that would be best. I have a too large stash, so probably have just about any fabric that would be needed. Anybody know of any small project? I don't even know what paper piecing looks like, when its appropriate, etc. Poor lady, I don't think she knows what she's getting into! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Virg
