This year we are tackling new skills with a variety of piecing and applique techniques. Each month for 12 months you will make a new set of blocks for your quilt and learn new techniques. Some of the techniques we will explore include: half square triangles, strip piecing, applique, partial seams, dresdens, and sewing curves. This quilt finishes at 75×75″. This class is appropriate for both new and experienced quilters. We are offering both in-person classes and virtual options; click the Upcoming Dates tab (above) to see all class options.
Cost: $350 course fee includes in person instruction and custom pattern. An incredible value ($33 per class) for all of the techniques we’ll cover, custom quilt pattern, video tutorials, and more. Or you can opt for the virtual session which includes monthly videos, instruction booklets, and printables but no class meetings for a $200 course fee.
Prerequisite: This class assumes that you’ve completed our Quilting 101 course or have similar skills
