Learn to use your skills that you mastered in Beginner Quilt Class. This class builds on those skills with new techniques. You will learn 9 patch piecing, machine applique, paper piecing, log cabin, curved piecing, pinwheel stars & borders and more. You will end up with a lap-sized quilt.
The classes will be on Wednesday afternoons from 1:00 - 4:00 There will be 8 classes . To be successful I don’t want you to rush you so we maybe will be looking at a drop-in class as well.
Students will buy the pattern from me and will need all the necessary quilting supplies (sewing machine with manual, rotary cutting equipment, pins, needles – both hand and machine, neutral threads to match your fabrics, template plastic, fabric markers and scissors.)
Fabrics – You could make yours scrappy from fabrics you already have in your stash, or a “planned” scrappy where you would choose a main colour and then choose your smaller pieces to go with the main colour.
Fabric requirements:
50 cm of each for medium and light borders
60 cm of a matching dark colour for border and binding
Fat quarters of 3 or more light and medium fabrics
Small amounts (15 cm) of 5 more ligjhts and darks fabrics
1.35 m for backing fabric & 40” x 54” of batting
