Beginners Patchwork

Beginner Patchwork Class: Start Your Quilting Journey

Have you always wanted to try patchwork but didn’t know where to begin? This beginner-friendly class is the perfect introduction to the timeless art of patchwork quilting.

In this hands-on session, you’ll learn all the foundational techniques you need to get started with confidence, including:

• Choosing fabrics and understanding how colours and prints work together
• Selecting the right first block to begin with
• Cutting squares and half square triangles accurately
• Sewing precise seams and pressing for a neat finish
• Strip piecing, adding borders and sashing for a polished look
• An introduction to the basic tools and equipment that make patchwork easier and more enjoyable

You’ll create two sample blocks:

• A classic 9-patch block
• A block made with half square triangles

These blocks can be turned into a beautiful cushion front, or—if you’re inspired to make more at home—they can become part of a small quilt or wall hanging.

Whether you're completely new to sewing or just new to patchwork, this class is a warm, supportive space to start your creative quilting journey.
