This course is designed to give students an introduction to the wonderful world of patchwork quilting. We start with the basics of patchwork and expose the student to the fun of joining squares, then cutting, rearranging and stitching back together to produce an amazing piece of art.
As the weeks progress, students will learn the standard terms and procedures of different aspects of patchwork quilting.
The difficulty and complexity of some processes will be increased gradually, and the course allows for further exploration of students’ individual interests as well as:
- Sharing quilting ideas with the teacher and fellow students.
- Learning about colour, texture and weight of different fabrics and their uses.
- Use of the different quilting tools, waddings and backings for quilts.
- Learning the QAYG (Quilt As You Go) method of straight sewing to quilt on a domestic machine.
- Basic quilting samples and printed instructions for future use.
- Inspiration for making quilts with greater degrees of difficulty and the pattern instructions for doing so.
This course runs for 6 weeks x 2.5 hours.
