Workshops {series}
Suggested time frames for these workshops
-
3 full days works well with at
least 2-3 weeks between;
-
7 sessions of 5 hours, spacing
of 2-4 weeks giving time to complete
sections before progressing to
next one. This method allows for
more tutor assistance through
all stages to completion;
-
2 very full days with at least
a month between. This system means
students work on a major part
of the quilt in their own time.
Class time concentrates on technique
methods not completing all sections
in class.
-
8 lessons of 3 hours each taught
once a week or fortnight. Due
to the time frame of this series,
it is available only to my local
area.
Stop the Scrap
Box Growing
(Machine work)
 This
workshop is designed around the ever growing
scrap box. Make your choice of several
small quilts or one larger one incorporating
different scrap techniques. Learn how
to use up fabrics from other projects
and make colourful practical quilts where
each quilt produced will be different.
Rotary cutting, foundation work and templates
are some of the techniques that will be
covered as you make bat wing, flying geese,
chevron, crazy patch and other style pieces
to make up your quilt(s). Project size
can be to suit individual requirements,
however the workshop sample is a lap quilt
size quilt & covers top only. This
is a popular group workshop as it covers
many techniques, and depending on the
group which time frame works best &
suitable for all skill levels. Quilt top
