Hi, I'm Joy. I provide a range of patchwork and quilting lessons and short courses which are suitable for both beginners and improvers.
If you are looking for Patchwork and Quilting classes or courses in the Birmingham and Solihull area then you are in the right place. Classes are friendly and informal and I keep class
numbers small so that I can give you plenty of
individual help. The class schedule is updated regularly with new class dates added throughout the year so check back often. However, many of the classes are very popular and quickly become fully booked so early booking is recommended!

Hi, I'm Joy, and I'm a Patchwork and Quilting tutor in Shirley, Solihull.
Over the last 12 years I have taught many people traditional skills of Patchwork and Quilting.
I take great pleasure in seeing how students progress from complete beginner to an experienced quilter. Check out my class timetable (link below) for details of the next Introduction to Patchwork and Quilting course and more.
