Summer School
MINIATURE QUILTS - 4 AUGUST
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.
Level of course: Details to follow
Student requirements: a basic sewing kit (embroidery needles, small pins, thimble if you use one) along with 2 pairs of scissors (4” and 2” blades, not embroidery ones) and a fabric glue pen (there will be some to share on the day). The materials for this class will cost £10 payable direct to the tutor.
