In this 2 day class you will learn how to make a quilt by creating a small (wall-hanging) quilt.
All techniques can be done by hand and most by machine, both will be taught. You will learn patchwork, applique (both raw and turned edge), hand quilting (machine quilting requires a walking foot for your machine), tied quilting (bring knitting yarn if you would like to learn this technique), and binding. Your quilt will be unique to you. You will also learn an easy method to hang your quilt.
