Bored with traditional patchwork and quilting?
Think it’s too difficult?
Hungry to learn new techniques?
Want to finish a quilt in a day?
Love modern quilting?
If you answered YES to any of these, then this workshop is for you!
Quilters’ Guild teacher Gill enjoys breaking all the rules with her contemporary style, and the best part is that anyone – yes, anyone – can master her techniques easily!
You don’t need to stitch in perfect straight lines or do free-motion quilting to achieve beautiful and striking results.
Your finished pieces can be used to create:
• Quilts
• Wall hangings
• Cushions
• Bags
• Book covers
• Table runners
• Or anything your imagination inspires!
The size of your piece and the requirements you will need to make it will depend on what you choose to make with your creation and can vary in size from 8" square to A3. It really is up to you!
During the workshop you’ll learn to have fun with your fabrics using Bondaweb (lots of it!), along with circles and other shapes to create your very own masterpieces.
And the best part? No two pieces will ever be the same!
Come along, try something new, and enjoy a relaxed, creative day of modern quilting.
