Quilt Basics In-Person Class

This class is for anyone who wants to learn to make quilts or sharpen their sewing skills.

Skills covered include: cutting, pressing, piecing (getting the perfect 1/4” seam), common quilt techniques like half square triangles and flying geese, trimming, borders, and binding. After this 6-week class, you will have a completed small quilting project (shown here).

If you have a sewing machine and basic supplies - bring them. If not, there are machines available to use in class. Class size is limited to allow individual attention.

New session starts May 1st.
