Quilt with Kat! (One Spot Remaining)

Does the idea of cutting up bits and pieces of fabric - then putting them back together again - excite you?

According to Google, quilting has been around since 3400 BCE - originating in Egypt, China, and North Africa.  Used for both clothing and bedding.

Nowadays quilting as a hobby is a global mainstay.  A time to relax into cutting, sewing, hand stitching.  Creatively combining colours and patterns.

When observing a home made quilt, most people gasp and say to themselves - I could never do that!  But you can.  It’s easier than you think.

Kat looks at quilting through the eyes of “simple is best”.  No fussy complicated patterns.  This is a beginners quilting class, and we are working on small projects.  Each participant can choose from the following:

1. Quilted cushion cover (using simple geometric shapes - inspired by American quilt designer Laura Preston)
2. Wall Hanging (using simple geometric shapes - inspired by American quilt designer Laura Preston)
3. Small quilted throw - Patchwork Plus at its best

This class is for sewists - from beginner through to advanced - who  are curious about quilting and ready to give it a go.

It runs for 3 consecutive Wednesdays: March 12, 19 & 26, 2026.
