Friday 10th April – 10am – 3.30pm – £39 for each month – This class is suitable for those with some experience of sewing, from beginners through to intermediate patchworkers.

It’s a fun and informal class where you will work at your own pace, to help build your patchworking skills and introduce you to the variety of techniques available. Techniques covered range from skill-builder patchwork blocks to ensure you have the core skills required, through to more complex patchwork, English paper piecing, foundation paper piecing and appliqué to name a few.

Flower Market Quilt is 10th April and 15th March:

Machine piecing and quilting.

This is a great stash busting project in a modern design where large pieced flowers sit in rows. I have made my quilt in a co-ordinating fabric range but alternatively this would be a great project for using up scraps.

If you wish to make the blocks into a table runner, cushion, or bag please adjust the fabric quantities accordingly.

*2m pale fabric for the background
