The perfect next step for new quilters*.
This guided quilt-a-long will build confidence in your new patchwork and quilting skills, introduce you to more useful techniques for modern quilt making and and help you to create another beautiful patchwork quilt.
You’ll make your own unique quilt using my Hadaway Quilt pattern and learn how to make ‘half-square’ triangles - a classic and versatile patchwork technique found in thousands of quilt pattern designs.
You’ll make a generous throw-size quilt with your personal choice of fabrics, wadding and preferred basting tools.
We’ll get together for five classes, at key points in the making process, so we can learn and sew together. There will be piecing and quilting work to do from home in between classes. I will support you throughout with guidance, notes, resources and encouragement.
Together, we’ll make modern family heirlooms to be treasured.
*This course is ideal for anyone who has learnt to quilt on one of my beginners courses (or an equivalent). If you’re not sure whether this is the right course for you, please contact me first so that we can think it through together.
Sewcials take place in my family home in rural Leicestershire. The house is a renovated listed building, set into a hillside, on a dead-end country lane. If you have any mobility issues, please contact me before booking. I will tell you more about the location and internal layout to help you decide whether you can reach me and use the space safely.
In case you need to avoid any animal allergens, please note that we have a cat and guinea pigs at home.
