Learn how to quilt with Taylor! Featuring the Ramona Quilt, you will learn how to construct a quilt from start to finish.
Thursdays from 6pm - 8pm, starting February 5th - 6 week course
Class Schedule:
Week 1 | Cutting & HSTS (Half Square Triangles) | Feb 5th
• Our first class will cover quilting terminology, the structure of the class,
and creating your HSTs (Half Square Traingles).
• Homework: Once you have made your half square triangles, you'll need
to 'square them up'. I will do a few demos of this in class so you know
what to do.
Week 2 | Piecing | Feb 12th
• Now that we have our HSTs we can start to piece our patchwork quilt
together! We will also discuss how to piece together your backing piece
of fabric.
• Homework: Finish your quilt top, and create the backing for your quilt.
Week 3 | We finish each others sandwiches | Feb 19th
• It's time to put our quilt sandwich together! We will work together, a
couple of students at a time to roll out our quilts and piece them
together. If there is time, I will begin to cover hand quilting.
Week 4 | Hand Quilting | Feb 26th
• Your Ramona Quilt will be hand quilted using Perle 8 cotton thread. This
is a chunkier thread that really emboldens your pattern.
• Homework: Continue to hand quilt, once you've completed quilting your
quilt, you can square it up.
Week 5 | Bye Week | March 5th
• Like football teams, quilting classes need a break too! This 'bye' week is
a 'class' where you don't actually go to class. You can use this time at
home to finish your quilt sandwich before the final class.
Week 6 | Binding | March 12th
• Our final class will cover binding, and with any luck we will walk out with
fully finished quilts!
