Gyleen X. Fitzgerald Workshop January 2016

Stripper’s Mystery Workshop

**CLASS IS ALMOST FULL…ONLY 2 MORE SLOTS AVALIABLE!**

So what do you get when you combine 20 strips of fabric with one absolutely fantastic focus fabric? You are the only one that knows and this is your mystery to solve. The layouts are fun, fast and endless. The quilts range from 25” to 50”. You can chose ½ square triangles, 16 patches, Chinese coins or pyramids (to name a few) to solve the mystery. So get out your Sherlock Homes attitude and begin the Stripper’s Mystery.
