For this patchwork/quilt club you can be an absolute Quilting Beginner to Advanced Quilter, at £20 per 2.5hr session! (includes £3 hall rental contribution per person for the benefit of much more space and also the chance to layer up quilts)
- Be in good company and perhaps work your way through our journal of 14 different quilt blocks, we have the written tutorials for each, we provide copies of these with our compliments, see pictures for some of these blocks. They are all graded to a 12.5inch square size so you can assemble them all as your first sampler quilt should you wish to do so.
- We always have several projects on the go too, from a spring tulip table runner to a quilted weekender bag to a quilted coat/jacket to placemats to a wall hanging and an applique baby quilt, lots of different projects – which makes the group really interesting!
- You may of course also work on projects you have started before joining the club and ask any questions you may have
- You are invited to use the tools of the workshop from Olfa Mats to Olfa & Fiskars Cutters, Sew Easy Quilt Rulers and the simple Janome manual Sewing School Machines equipped with a quarter inch foot
- we provide tuition to make sure you are confident with cutting and grading your patchwork pieces.
- You are meant to bring your own cotton fabrics (Fat Quarters, Scraps, any cotton material you have in the house to get started with) and a sewing kit with your threads, scissors, pins and any other patchwork tools and gadget you may wish to use
- On the days of the club sessions all club members get 10% off their shop stock purchases at the brick & mortar shop at 32 East Princes Street, Helensburgh, open from 10am to 5pm on Saturdays.
