Each ladder is hand cut and assembled using bare wood, giving you the freedom to stain or paint it at your leisure after class. Upon arrival, you will choose four quilt block pre-drawn patterns (two starter patterns and two in-depth patterns), which you can personalize with your favorite seasonal, sport team, holiday or home décor colors with exterior paint. While the front of the board will feature the four patterns you've chosen, the back side is available to complete at your leisure, as class time is dedicated to painting the 4 front designs. The instructor will have copies of other pattern options available to assist you in drawing the patterns on the back. To complete your project, each ladder comes with 8 teacup hooks. Pattern choices are for novice to experienced! From squares and triangles to flowers and stars, plus many more, you're sure to climb the creative ladder!
