Join us for an introduction to all things quilting with local textile artist Lucy Norton.
You will work through every step needed to make a quilt, starting with choosing fabric and patterns, to making your own binding. You’ll be using these techniques to make a 30x30cm mini quilt in your choice of fabrics and colours to take home with you and proudly display as a table centrepiece.
You’ll explore the following on this one day workshop;
● Choosing fabrics and complimentary colours
● Researching traditional patterns
● Cutting fabric accurately
● Piecing the top quilt pieces
● Pressing open seams
● Sandwiching your quilt top and backing securely
● Quilting by machine and hand
● Making binding
● Finishing and embellishing.
With all these skills you’ll then be equipped to make any kind of quilt at home, from cushions and jackets to bed throws.
IMPORTANT: Students are required to bring their own sewing machine and it must be in good working order. If you want to attend but don’t have a sewing machine, please get in touch prior to booking and we may be able to provide one to borrow. All fabrics, threads and other materials are provided.
