Quilting workshop



At the weekend I did another course at the excellent Makery in Bath. This time it was Quilting for Beginners.


Yet again the course was great, the instructor was friendly, easy to follow and happy to answer questions and discuss issues. During the afternoon we each made a patchwork notebook cover, and through the stages I was able to ask plenty of questions about my own quilt making.







The notebook covers were made by sewing six strips from jelly rolls together, quilting this onto calico backing and fitting it to the size of the notebook. I then sewed two seams on the top and bottom, trimmed off the excess fabric and wadding and then made binding to edge the cover.
