New to sewing or unfamiliar with modern sewing machines? Join Quilting With Catherine to ensure you're comfortable and confident before joining this class.
The Happy Hour book is ideal for the new quilter to learn the foundational skills of accurate cutting, piecing, assembling the blocks, adding borders, layering and machine quilting. More experienced quilters will be delighted at the speed in which these modern designs come together.
The book is included with your class fee and features several quilts, bags, table toppers, and a cushion. You will choose from 2 of the quilts in the book.
We love this book as it has "second helpings" projects to use up the scrap cuts from the quilts. With the skills learned during class, you will be able to take on any of the projects in the book with confidence.
The following will be taught during class:
Week 1 - Cutting and Piecing
Week 2 - Assembling the blocks
Week 3 - Adding borders
Week 4 - Layering preparing binding
Week 5 - Machine Quilting
Week 6 - Binding
