Join me for an introduction to all things quilting!
In this workshop we will learn how quilting techniques can be used to make functionally and decorative pieces for your home.
Starting with choosing fabrics, then piecing and sandwiching and finally binding your hot water bottle cover which you’ll then have to take home with you.
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.
