Morning Tea and EPP “Queens Folly” Table Runner -Fayetteville
August 6, 2026 11AM-2 PM
Come relax with friends, sip a beverage from the Caledonia Cafe, and work on an English paper pieced project. English Paper Piecing (EPP) is a hand piecing technique where pieces of fabric are adhered to a piece of paper before they are hand sewn together. EPP offers quilters the ability to showcase fabrics with the use of fussy cutting to sew complex designs. In August, we will begin working on the “Queens Folly” table runner. “Queens Folly” is an intricate EPP block that can be found in English quilts from the mid 1800s.
We will also continue working on our year-long EPP project “Blue Star Hexagon” by Karen Styles. Make two star blocks each weekend and you will have a quilt in a year. Students can make the quilt scrappy or choose a theme. I will be using reproduction patriotic colors to honor America’s 250th birthday.
Skill level: beginner
Table runner finished size: 47” x 16 ¾”
A beverage from Caledonia Cafe, “Blue Star Hexagon” pattern, Queens Folly papers, table runner pattern, and diamond papers will be provided.

Let customers speak for us
from 28 reviewsI go to other open sew retreats and really enjoy them You can also learn from what others are creating.
I received a text message from Phyllis stating she and Mary had signed up for the "Open Sew Retreat" at Sew n Sleep and wanted to know if I was going to join them?! I was in the middle of making dinner, told my husband to continue stirring up the meal while I sign up for the retreat! No problems signing up, was done in about 5 minutes......Can't wait to be there again away from home for 4 days with two special ladies and the rest of the group......Thank you for organizing another "Open Sew Retreat" Margaret aka Margie
Rhonda is a wonderful teacher, and her classes are fun.
I have been sewing since I brought my viking epuc 2 home. It runs like a brand new machine and I love it. Thank you so much for your attention to my needs and your professional friendly help.
Great class! Teacher was very helpful!

Dad did a great job teaching that class, I’m looking forward to her, teaching the valentine heart class
Everything you wanted to know about Grace quilting machines were wrapped in a ribbon of opportunity to test drive them all.
Loved the class and the instructor.
It was a great class. I’m always worried about learning from a new teacher and she was excellent. She made sure we understood everything. She helped us. She was so pleasant and I got to meet a bunch of new people and overall it was just an incredible day, and we all walked out with awesome bags I. I would definitely go to one of her classes again would definitely go to one of her classes again
Very informative and a lot of fun.
The Featherweight Club was a wonderful day. We learned about an attachment and all members had an opportunity to practice the attachment. The classroom is beautiful and everyone at Sew ‘N Place is very helpful and knowledgeable.
Nice mix of information between sewing and embroidery. Also a nice mix between Husqvarna and pfaff. Well done!
I enjoyed the class very much. Like to had a little more hands on time with the machines.
