Monthly Skill Builder Patchwork Class making Springtime Garden Quilt with Janet Goddard
(This is a monthly class that continues on mostly the 4th Friday of each month for six months
The remaining dates for the quilt are 23 January and 27 February.
Friday 23rd January – 10am – 3.30pm – £39 – FULLY BOOKED – for each month – This class is designed for both beginners in patchwork and those wanting to improve their skills.
Over the next six months we will be working on a Springtime Garden Quilt. Each month a different technique will be taught working towards the completion of the quilt. This quilt can be built up row by row and contains many elements found in a springtime garden including mosaic tiles, a variety of flowers and blooms, vines and leaves, dragonflies, butterflies and a some hearts for good measure. Lots of techniques are covered in the workshops including machine piecing, machine applique and folded patchwork. I have made my quilt using fabrics in a grey, lime green and turquoise colour palette but I think it would work with most fabric combinations.
A working knowledge of how to use your sewing machine is essential.
