Patchwork and Quilting
Tue 17 Sep 2024, 9:45 am - Tue 26 Nov 2024, 12:15 pm
A relaxed, informal class to learn the skills of machine patchwork and quilting and add a little design pizazz along the way! A range of techniques will be covered including rotary cutting, getting the best from your sewing machine, colour choices, machine piecing and quilting, and basic construction methods. There will be a fresh project each term which can be used to make a quilt, wall-hanging, or smaller project – or you can bring your own project. All levels of experience are welcome.

Name: Sheena Roberts
Bio: Sheena holds a B.Ed., as well as the City & Guilds Certificate and Diploma in Patchwork and Quilting. She is a member of the Quilters’ Guild of Britain and Ireland, and their Modern and Contemporary Special Interest Groups, and a member of the Modern Quilt Guild.
Sheena Roberts has been sewing since she was tiny and creating patchwork quilts for almost as long. She didn’t start off being a confident seamstress, as all but thrown out of class at school, but she had someone who did not give up on her – and that has influenced her to “pass that forward”. Her passion is sharing skills, and she has been doing that through Green Man Quilts since 2013. http://www.greenmanquilts.co.uk
