Learn to Quilt: The Ivy Quilt IN PERSON

  • Freeman's Creative LLC 2020 Chapel Hill Road #25 Durham, NC, 27707 United States (map)

Let's make a quilt! This class will cover sewing a quilt from start to finish using the Ivy Quilt pattern from Kitchen Table Quilting. We will learn to accurately cut blocks using a rotary cutter, piece with a precise 1/4 seam allowance, efficiently chain-piece our blocks, and baste and machine quilt our projects. Students should be comfortable sewing projects by machine (set-up/basic troubleshooting). We will make the Baby size.
