My Intro to Quilting Series begins Tuesday July 1st! Learn to quilt with me at Community Craft!!
Intro to Quilting Series! Tuesdays July 1 - August 5th, 6-9pm. The Mary Make & Do Modern Mini: a complete introduction to quilting, from cutting to binding! Mary loves to make learning to quilt as fun & friendly as possible, she walks you through every step, and holds your hand as you learn all the foundational skills.
This fun patchwork sampler covers all the basic steps of quilting. It includes the most common units of patchwork quilt blocks: half square triangles (HST), flying geese, half rectangle triangles (HRT), and curves, along with sashing, borders, basting, quilting, and binding. All of this skill building goodness in a small-scale size to make it easily doable. You’ll be a quilter before you know it!
“This mini format makes learning the basics of quilting mind-blowingly achievable!”
