Serendipity
with Jan Rowe 

Jan says "start with a blank piece of paper, fold it, draw a few straight lines and design your own foundation piecing pattern".  Using half a dozen of your favourite fabrics and colours, you will create a unique kaleidoscope that will amaze and surprise you.  The work is pieced by machine.
