During this 10 session quilting course we will make a complete 12-block sampler quilt. Each session will be 3 hours long with tea, coffee and homemade cake provided. This course is aimed at sewers who are familiar with using a sewing machine, but are new to patchwork and quilting. Group size will be between 4 and 6 people to ensure everyone gets individual attention. A variety of patchwork techniques will be covered in constructing the blocks, before moving on to sashing/borders, layering, quilting and binding to complete the quilt. Full course notes will be provided at each session. You will need to bring your own sewing machine and basic sewing kit. Sessions will be every fortnight on Wednesdays 10am - 1pm Wednesday dates: 6th and 20th September, 4th and 18th October, 1st, 15th and 29th November, 13th December, 3rd and 17th January The course will be held at: The Backhouse Room, 116 Handside Lane, Welwyn Garden City AL8 6SZ Location on Google Maps
