Learn to sew quilts for your friends and family to treasure!
This class is rewarding for beginners who know how to machine sew and would be a terrific holiday gift. Your teacher will show you helpful techniques and guide you through making a quilt from start to finish. You should start with a baby or crib-sized quilt if this is your first time quilting. You will construct the quilt blocks, sew the blocks together to create the quilt top, layer the back fabric for the quilt, batting, and quilt top, then baste the quilt, machine or hand sew your quilt and finally finish the edges with binding.
