The next English Craft Club class meets this Sunday August 12th in Shinjuku Gyoen! This upcoming class is part of the American Quilt Series, and up this week is the 9 Square block.
Looks can be deceiving — the 9 Square may look simple, but construction can be difficult because of the many sharp corners. We’ll learn how to piece and hand sew this block, and discuss some variations. The 9 Square is fun to design – you can arrange fabric colors and patterns in many combinations and styles. Come try it for yourself!
Finished quilt blocks can be used to create a table mat, decorate a tote bag or cushion cover, or save to add to a larger quilt. All project materials and light snacks are included. Cost is 5000 yen per person, or bring a friend for a discount of just 3500 yen per person. The English Craft Club is open to everyone — men, women, both native speakers and those learning English. If you are interested in joining the class, please send an email to sakepuppets@gmail.com to register. Hope to see you there!

I’m rather fond of 9-squares. Possibly because they’re so easy to work with and don’t involve anything complicated.
