Join me for an introduction to all things quilting!

In this workshop we will work through every step to make a quilt, starting with choosing fabrics, patterns, piecing, sandwiching, quilting and finally making your own binding.

We'll be using these techniques to make a 30x30cm mini quilt in your choice of fabrics and colours which you'll be able to take home with you.

With all these skills you'll then be equipt to make any kind of quilt at home, from cushions and jackets to bed throws!

All equipment and materials provided – but please feel free to bring along any special fabrics you might have at home that you'd like to incorporate into your quilt.

In the workshop we will cover:

- Choosing fabrics and complimentary colours

- Pressing open seams

- Sandwiching your quilt top, batting and backing securely
