My First Quilt Project, a Beginner's Class
Are you a beginning quilter? Looking to improve your skills? Then this class is for you! By the end of our six sessions, you will have learned the basic skills of contemporary quiltmaking: fabric selection and care, rotary cutting, accurate piecing, piecing your back and sandwiching the quilt, quilting with a walking foot, and binding. The class project is a finished quilt that measures 73 x 73. See the sample in the shop.
We will have a class prep session on Saturday, August 31st. This prep session will discuss tools, fabric, and questions you might have; bring a notepad and writing implement.
Please ensure your sewing machine is working and you know how to use it before the first class.
We will not be sewing at the prep session; here is a basic supply list for the class.

Contrast #1 (Pink blocks) - 1 1/4 yds
