Learn the essentials of quilt making and create a small (approximately 27"x33") sized quilt. This is a pieced quilt workshop: you will be cutting up fabric and sewing it together in a quilt block (not hand sewing or applique). The classic pattern we will work with is called Broken Dishes. Use a rotary cutter and mat, play with color and have the option to finish your quilt by tying the layers together or by doing simple quilting with a sewing machine. Hand quilting will be demonstrated for those who prefer this method. If you have never sewn using a machine, you will learn how to sew simple 1/4" seams as you create your quilt.

Notes:

Materials needed: about 3-1/2 yards of cotton fabric in at least 3 colors, quilt batting, threads (specifics will be sent to students when you enroll), rotary cutter and mat, sewing machine in good working order.
