The week will start with a discussion about construction techniques, including rotary cutting and machine piecing. There will be sessions looking at the use of colour, how to choose your fabrics to create interest and texture, piecing and applique techniques and how to make perfect circles, stems and flowers.
Depending on the size of quilt guests decide to make it is not always possible to get into the final stages of quilting, but the week will include a demonstration of quilting by machine and hand. Students will need a sewing machine.
