Retro Blossoms Quilt - Piecing Curves
In Quilting Class, we will be making the Retro Blossoms Quilt from Lo & Behold Stitchery. Over the course of seven weeks, we will pick out, prep, and cut our fabrics, piece a quilt top, and quilt and bind our quilts. This pattern is very focused on curved piecing, so it is ideal for a confident beginner quilter who is ready to advance to curved piecing.
This class will require homework in order to complete this project in seven weeks. Because of this, attendees will either need to have their own machine, have access to a machine, or be willing to rent time on the machines at the shop (for a discounted rate) in order to complete the project within the class time frame.
The cost of the class includes 12 hours of instruction in a small group setting, use of the classroom and it's tools, and the quilt pattern. Fabrics and batting are not included, as the price will depend on the size of quilt being made. Reference the size chart to determine which size you would like to make and how much fabric is required. Word to the wise... for the sake of time, don't pick a big size.
Time: Wednesdays, March 12th, 19th, & 26th, and April 9th, 16th, & 23rd from 1pm - 3pm. There is a catchup week on April 2nd.
