Anyone can learn to quilt. The challenge is knowing how and where to start. Join Joanne for this 5 week (no class on the 4th week) workshop as she leads you on your journey to making your first quilt. This introduction to quilting gives you all the tools for success, focusing on the three building blocks that make a quilt: cutting, piecing and pressing.
Cost: $ 175.00
Building on the techniques from Level 1, participants will be introduced to strip piecing, chain piecing, piecing on the bias, half square triangles and points. You will learn how to incorporate sashing, corners stones as well as how to miter corners on your borders and prepare bias binding.
