Thursdays, April 4 - May 9, 2024 | 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM [IN PERSON]
Let’s make several different flower blocks utilizing the stitch and flip method.
Equipment for this class includes a basic sewing machine with a 1/4-inch foot, an iron and ironing board or ironing mat (one or two for the class), rotary cutting set (mat, ruler and cutter) and basic sewing supplies (straight pins, needles, cotton thread, seam ripper, scissors, thread snips).
Material requirements will vary depending on individual design decisions selected – cotton fabric in Pre-cuts (5 or 10-inch squares), fat quarters and/or yardage in colors of your choice.
After the quilt top is completed, a corresponding amount of batting and fabric for backing will be needed.
We will work with flower color fabrics from 5 inch or 10-inch squares, 2 ½ inch strips or yardage and a background fabric. Various setting options will be discussed. In the first class, we will discuss fabric requirements and supplies. No sewing machine required at first class. Most of the sewing will be completed in class. The only prerequisite is some sewing experience and the desire to learn to make a quilt.
