A Beginner's Quilting Class

featuring:

How to Make a Nine Patch Quilt

Do you have fond memories of a special quilt in your family?

Do you love to curl up on the sofa and watch your favorite movie

with your family as you snuggle under a cozy quilt?

Do you wish that you could make special,
one of a kind gifts for family and friends?

Would you like to learn how to make quilts to sell?

Is your schedule too busy to break away to go a quilt shop for classes,
not to mention they are usually pretty expensive!

BUT are you at a loss for where to start?

Then these lessons are for YOU!

This class is designed for beginners and is loaded with detailed, step by step instructions and PICTURES.

Once you learn how to do a few basic things the sky is the limit. There are HUNDREDS of patterns that can be made once you learn how to do the basics.

I designed this course to make it as easy as possible to get started creating your own quilts. If there are instructions that are not clear to you I will try to explain it more clearly.

You can move along at your own pace,
choose your own fabric and colors.

The directions are given for the size of a throw. It's important not to become overwhelmed with too big of a project in the beginning. As you improve with your sewing/quilting skills you can move on to bigger projects and create your own.

This class is a machine quilting class.

I hope to have a hand quilting class online soon. The good thing about machine quilting is that it allows you to have a finished project more quickly than if you were hand quilting it.

This class will teach you about:
choosing fabric
quilting rulers
rotary cutter and mat
piecing a top together
squaring up
adding binding
making a label

quilt care
