Service Description

Creative Quilting Taster Morning - introductory workshop with hand-quilter Mary McGeown Always wanted to know more about how to make a quilt, but not sure where or how to start? Then join us for this 3 hour ‘taster’ session designed to get you started on your creative quilting journey.... Whether you've tried quilting before or are a total beginner, be inspired, have fun and develop confidence with this class. With relaxed conversation, viewing of Mary's samples and live demonstrations, as a group you will look at the aspects of design and composition, such as use of colour, patterns, simple vs complex, pattern vs plain fabrics. Looking at different styles of quilting and selected artists for inspiration, plan where, who or what your quilt is destined for. Plan your budget and what level of skill you’ll need to make your quilt. Think about how ambitious (or not) you want to be, how much time/space you have for your project and hand stitching v machine stitching As a group we will look at types of fabric and the whole process of making a quilt from start to finish, including basic piecing techniques, sashing, borders; how to piece layers together and finish it. The taster session will end by using paper collage to create a design that’s unique to you and think about next steps. Materials: A plain notebook and pencil for notes and sketches is useful to bring along, all other materials are included * *Feel free to bring your own fabrics to show if you have some that you think you may use for quilting - but bear in mind we will not be sewing in this taster class Next Steps? This is a taster workshop for the upcoming Creative Quilting Course starting 15th June at BSS.
