Patchwork & Quilting - Summer Quilt In a Day Workshop

Course intent

Make a creative quilt in a day that reflects summer, the brightest of our seasons. As your quilt progresses you will learn basic patchwork and quilting techniques that can also be used with other projects.

What will I learn?

• Preparation of fabrics

• Cutting with a rotary cutter
• Joining using a sewing machine
• Basic quilting
• Finishing a quilt

Who is this course for? Is there anything I need to know before joining?

This workshop is designed for beginners and improvers to patchwork and quilting. So little experience is necessary, although some basics would be helpful. Familiarity with a sewing machine would be beneficial to the progress of the quilt.

What do I need to bring to the first class? Will there be any extra costs?

A ‘needs list’ will be sent out before the start of the workshop which will include what you need to bring and where to source fabrics.

You are required to provide your own fabrics and thread for your individual pro. You will also need basic sewing equipment, eg pins, needles and scissors etc. A notepad and pencil are always useful.

Sewing machines belonging to the centre are available to use during the course.

What can I do when I finish the course?

This workshop can be studied in isolation or considered as an introduction into a much larger subject area that makes a creative hobby. Further courses will be offered throughout the year by Surrey Adult Learning to develop the newly acquired skills and this subject area. Occasional Saturday classes and other Needlecraft classes will also be offered. For further details, please visit our website – www.surreycc.gov.uk/adultlearning
