Date: Monday, 4th August 

 

Tutor: Julia Gahagan has been making miniature quilts for 20 years and sells  her kits and patterns through her Etsy shop. She travels the UK teaching her  quick and easy technique at quilt shows and events. 

 

Description: With just fabric, glue and scissors you will make a mini quilt (approx. 5” x 7”) using shadow applique, where a transparent ‘shadow’ fabric is placed over the  work to secure all the small pieces in place. Hand quilting and embroidery will  secure the design in place. You will receive full instructions to complete the  design at home (if required). 

 

There will be a choice of designs, and everyone will start to make two small  designs following the theme of Landscapes Through the Seasons. The  technique is quick, easy and fun and suits complete beginners as well as the more experienced. 

 

There will also be various kits ranging from £15-£20 to purchase on the day if  you wish.
