Monthly Skill Builder Patchwork Class making Medallion Quilt with Janet Goddard

(This is a monthly class that continues on mostly the 4th Friday of each month for six months)

Starting today and then the further five dates are Friday 24th April, Friday 22nd May, Friday 26th June, Friday 24th July and Friday 28th August.

Friday 27th March – 10am – 3.30pm – £39 – for each month – This class is designed for those wanting to improve their skills. Stitch a beautiful medallion style quilt which grows from the centre outwards. It has been fun designing this quilt and watching it grow as each row was added. I have incorporated a number of different techniques in this workshop including some quick machine piecing techniques and some that are not so quick, curved piecing and machine applique.

I have made my quilt in ice cream colours but I think it would work with most fabric combinations.

Students need to be able to use a rotary cutter and stitch an accurate ¼” seam.
