Skills you’ll learn:
quilt design, piecing, tying and sashiko quilting
Warm your home with a handmade quilt! Learn the log-cabin technique to reuse vintage and reclaimed fabric to construct a unique geometric quilt top. In the first session, we will learn how to plan out your color scheme, cut fabric, and begin sewing your quilt top from the center of your quilt with a straight stitch. By the second session the quilt tops will be finished and the class will learn how to choose the correct batting for the inside of the quilt and back the quilt with a large piece of fabric. Also in the second session, the class will learn two quilting techniques (tying and sashiko), and begin quilting their layers together. With the quilting completed by the third session, the class will learn how to make their own edging tape to give their quilt a finished look. Participants will need to supply their own batting. A variety of fabric will be available to you, but feel free to bring in bedsheets, jeans, and other fabrics from home to create your quilt.
Participants will need to use some time outside of the class to complete steps of the quilt. Students can attend Perennial’s Community Workshop: Reuse Studio for free in-between sessions, where instructors and materials will be available.
Please note, this three-day workshop takes place on the following Thursdays: July 13, July 20, and July 27 from 6:00pm – 9:00pm each evening.
Feel free to bring in fabric from home for your quilt.
