Quilt At The Beginning
Class Introduction
Ever wanted to make a quilt but just weren’t sure how? Not enough money to pay someone to teach you? Well how about learning through the eyes of ME?!
That’s right, come tag along as I learn how to quilt. Learn quilting terms and just what are Fat Quarters, and Jellie Rolls anyways? (no, it’s not something you find at your local doughnut shoppe). Find out exactly what you do with an appliqué, where you can find out how to join or start your own “Patchwork Society” or just learn at your own pace and use this time to unwind with tea and your favorite music.
Through my eyes, you will find the answers to your “How’d they do that” in all your quilting questions.
Feel free to ask along the way, and by golly, have fun with your first projects! Remember that mistakes are often what make your quilts unique. As time goes by, you’ll get better and better.
So come join me, as we learn how to Quilt At The Beginning. Here are the things we will learn together:
Basic steps of quilt construction, Using Notions or tools to those who don’t know about sewing terms, Quilting by machine, Hand Quilting without a hoop, English Paper Piecing, and much, much more. Later, you will define which skill suits you, quilting by machine, or by hand. Both are different, with different outcomes, one is faster, one is at YOUR own pace. Either way, you’ll find gratification out of the project you’ve started, moving on to bigger projects to suit your skill-level.
Remember, I am by no means skilled with Quilting. So if you happen to be an experienced Quilter, our Homesteadblogger Senior Editor is looking for someone with experience to blog on the Front Porch.
Join me in Two weeks, January 24th, as I post on helpful tools to get you started and basic terms to help you through your first small project just like I’m Learning in my quilting class.
Happy Quilting!
