Start your own Heirloom Quilt

a quilt made for a friend from her old clothes, bits and bobs

Have you got a special " patchwork quilt" drawer at home full of bits and bobs of fabric?  Old lace, linens and items of clothing that you're hoarding because you love them or because they're mementoes of people you've lost?  Aha, I've got the answer!  Come to my heirloom quilt workshop on Saturday May 2nd at the Egg Factory.

Not many people know this, but I've made many many quilts. And although I'm not naturally a planning person, I've learnt from experience that planning a quilt is the best guarantee that you'll finish it, without running out of fabric or time and that it will resemble what you originally had in mind.

So the workshop will be mostly about planning and designing, although you might get started on cutting and even sewing.   I'll have lots of pictures to look at and examples of the various simple techniques I use. I'm also offering free follow up quilt coaching if you get stuck. Click here to get booked!
