Quiltmaking could be just the form of sewing that sends your skills sorrowing. If you are new to sewing or simply new to quiltmaking, this class will give you a firm foundation on the elements of this time honored art form. Our class is based on the book “Start Quilting” by Alex Anderson. Alex has 6 simple quilt blocks to teach you. In the course of this class, you will make a quilt from one of these blocks or you can be ambitious and make a sampler of all six blocks. We will discuss fabric choices, tools, cutting with a rotary cutter, pinning, and finishing.

Barbara will take you through the steps of learning this needle turning process, and talk about the many different designs and styles that have emerged from Hawaiian quiltmakers.
