Learn to Quilt (Nov 16, 17, 23, 24)
During this beginner class we will cover quilting basics making a modern baby quilt in the Pine Falls pattern by Blanket Statement (approx. 40” x40”) Topics include fabric choice, accurate cutting and piecing practices, using a rotary cutter, the “quilt sandwich”, options for quilting, and binding your finished quilt. Please note, due to individual fabric choice, your quilt will be similar to sample photo, but not exactly the same. This class will require some homework, we encourage you to attend open studio sessions and continue working on your quilt so that you start each class caught up and ready for the next step.
When: Saturdays/Sunday Nov 15/16 & Nov 23/24 , 2 - 4pm ( 4 classes – 8hrs instruction in total)
Group size: Maximum of 6 students
Age range: Adults 16+
Skill level: Suitable for confident beginners who are familiar with domestic sewing machines, cutting out fabric and seam allowances. The success of quilting is an accuracy, so if you are new to sewing we recommend taking the Adult Learn to Sew before taking this class.

Teacher: Tazia was taught to sew by her two grandmothers and has always loved creative expression of all kinds. She has created over 60 quilts in the last 5 years. She loves exploring colourful motifs and is experienced with complex patterns, piecing, binding by hand and machine quilting.
