Beginners Quilt Along: Color Crush

Classes

Dec 10

Class Length: 8 classes, 3hrs/ea

Class Cost: $200 (Pattern included in cost)

Are Materials Included? No, kit is available for purchase during checkout or a material list will be provided.

Class Description: Never made a full size quilt before and not sure where to start? Have you only made small projects and you’re nervous to go bigger on your own? Are you an advanced quilter just looking to meet other quilters to share a few hours with and make something beautiful?

During this eight week class, you will use our studio equipment to learn to press and accurately cut fabrics using rotary cutters and acrylic rulers, how to read a quilt pattern, how to sew a consistent quarter inch seam, and how to make common quilting fundamental shapes like half square triangles, nine patch, and flying geese — and then use those shapes to make more intricate patterns such as Friendship Star, Hourglass, and Shoofly blocks.

A full syllabus and materials list will be included in your registration confirmation email. Students may bring fabric or purchase a discounted kit from Hoop & Bee. Please note that this is a quilt top only! The quilt top will be 56" x 64". Finishing and binding may be completed during an Open Sew or at your leisure.

This class will run with 3+ participants.

PLEASE NOTE: While no quilting experience is necessary, if you have never used a sewing machine before and are feeling nervous or stressed about using one, please consider taking our Sewing Machine Confidence Builder prior to this class, or get in touch for a private one-on-one lesson.
