Quilting Fundamentals 2022

Are you a beginning quiltmaker?  Or maybe you’ve been quilting for years — but are self taught and keep telling yourself – there has to be an easier way to do this!  Either way — this class series is for you!

Packed with skills, techniques, tips and more…  I’ll take you from start (picking fabrics) to finish (binding!!) and everything in-between.

We will make a number of sampler blocks that you can join together to create a table runner, a wall quilt — or go crazy and make lots of blocks for a bed quilt!  With the skills you learn in this series — there won’t be a pattern you will pick up that you won’t know how to approach — and have the skills to give it a go!

You’ll learn all of these skills in this class:

• proper rotary cutting technique
• basic patchwork – 1/4″ seam accuracy
• creating half and quarter square triangles (any size!)
• creating templates
• squaring up blocks
• proper pressing technique
• applique (freezer paper, fusible, reverse, needleturn, machine)
• paper piecing – both Foundation and English!
• complex centers (8 points coming together!)
• Y-Seams / Mitered Corners
• curved piecing
• partial seam technique
• sashing, cornerstones and borders
• piping and flanges
• binding

All patterns will be provided (lots of variety — pick the block(s) you wish to make!) at the end of the course I’ll show you how to assemble your favorite blocks into a keepsake sampler quit.  No one else will have one like yours!

All classes will on Tuesdays from 4:00 – 5:30 PM CST (we might occasionally run a little long — we’ll play it by ear!)

March 1, 8, 15, 22, and April 5 and April 12

We’ll give you a little time to sew the number of blocks  you want to make,  and play with your final layout.

Then we’ll meet one last time on  April 26th — for binding and finishing!

Zoom classes are recorded — so if you miss a live session — or wish to re-watch a skill or technique — it’s only a click away!
(and you can review the classes for months after the live classes have ended!)

Don’t Take My Word For It… 
A class like this was the door that opened up the world of quilting for me.  I wanted to create a similar experience for others.  I think I’ve succeeded, read what others have said about this class here and here.
