Description One of the biggest names in quilting comes to Craftsy! Quilter, author, and teacher Kaye England brings her expertise in traditional quilting to this information-packed online Craftsy class. Kaye travels the world to teach her precise and efficient piecing methods, inspired by quilting traditions from around the world and the stories of strong women throughout history. Just like Kaye’s in-person workshops, you’ll be inspired, you’ll learn a ton, and you’ll have a lot of fun – all without leaving your home!gIn Re-Piecing the Past: Civil War Blocks Then & Now, you’ll learn foundational piecing techniques as you work through 12 included block patterns, each with its own story to tell – from Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” to “Battle Cry of Freedom,” a song so popular it was sung on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line.
