Beginner Quilting - $150 class fee (Cash or Check) - 5 classes Thursdays May 15, May 22, May 29, June 5, and June 26 from (9:30 to 12:00 p.m.)
Beginner Piecing Class
This class is for the newbie quilter. We will be making 5 traditional blocks: Churn Dash, Split rail,
Friendship, 9-Patch and a machine applique heart. The final quilt measures just over 60 inches square - perfect to snuggle with!
Supplies are listed below to make your piecing more accurate.
Choosing fabrics: Find a multi-colored print that you really like. Then find three coordinating fabrics. You can use solids or fabrics that read as solids (they look solid from a distance). One of the three fabrics should be less busy and quite a bit lighter than the other two.
You need to know how to use your sewing machine.
There is homework to complete before the first meeting and quite a bit more to complete between the classes.
Don’t hesitate to text, call, or email me if you have any questions!
