If you’ve always fancied having a go at patchwork and/or quilting, but have no idea where to start, this is the course for you… If you want to try out a range of different techniques, come along and learn some new skills to inspire your creativity…
This holiday is 7 nights/6 days long, with 4 days in the Studio and 2 days to relax or explore – see What is included?
This holiday assumes some knowledge of – or experience in – using a sewing machine.
Techniques Covered:
- simple patchwork using triangles
- Log cabin quilt-as-you-go patchwork
- Trapunto
- Italian quilting
- Kantha
- English quilting
What you’ll make:
- patchwork cushion cover
- doorstop (which you’ll need to stuff at home because of the weight!)
- lined Tote bag
- eye mask and storage pouch
Below is an example of how your week might be organised:
STUDIO DAY 1 – On your first day, you will make a patchwork cushion cover, using 4 different fabrics cut into triangles. It’s a fun project, and there’s a great sense of achievement when it comes together.
STUDIO DAY 2 – I’ll introduce Log Cabin patchwork, and you’ll make a door-stop (to be stuffed at home because of the weight!)
STUDIO DAY 3 – Today you will start to make the lined tote bag, which will include 3 different quilting techniques: Trapunto, Kantha and Italian.
STUDIO DAY 4 – You will finish the tote bag – assembling the various sections, adding the lining and the straps, plus any final decoration such as beading or hand embroidery.
