Quilting 101
Join us for an introduction to quilting workshop!
In this 2-session intensive, you'll create a lap quilt (40" x 56") and learn the basics of quilt construction from choosing fabrics to cutting using a rotary cutter, quilter's ruler and mat. You'll learn to piece a quilt top, sandwich and straight-line quilt your quilt and finish it with binding. We'll even discuss labeling your quilt to officially "sign" your work!
Session 1: Quilting supplies, fabric selection & prep + fabric cutting || Assembling blocks & rows + sewing the quilt top
Session 2: Basting the quilt & straight-line quilting, squaring up the quilt || Binding + making a label
By the end of the workshop, you'll have a cozy lap quilt to enjoy for many years!
Please arrive 15 minutes early to browse the fabric selection in shop. We'll discuss color theory, pattern, value, in class and you'll have time to shop during the first session. Anything purchased during class time will receive a 10% discount!
