The Floral Folk in Stitches Quilt

My latest quilt design project is aimed at taking your applique to the next level.... using raw edge applique we take a look at all the various machine stitches and techniques can really lift your decorative finishes. This project is worked in small sections so you can quilt as you go and comes with links to over 12 videos to help you discover new stitching finishes. There is also access to a private Facebook group for sharing progress etc.

Your Quilt...Your Way...

Quilt by hand or machine .... add a border or keep as a small wall quilt...this quilt is a sampler style teaching tool that also looks fabulous . Ideal as a scrap buster too!

 If you would like some extra support then please book on either the online or in person introduction class...getting started is often the scariest part of a new project but I am here to help!

I believe sewing is more than just a craft; it’s a way to express yourself, create something beautiful, and find mindfulness in the process. Explore various classes online and in the flesh! ...and find the perfect fit for your skill level and interests.

What's On......

I offer a variety of sewing classes tailored to all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced sewers. My classes are designed to be fun, informative, and inspiring, helping you to develop your skills and unleash your creativity.

SEASONS IN STITCH QUILT PROJECT

Unlike a regular block of the month this quilt-as-you-go project is aimed at inspiring you to try lots of different techniques for applique, decorative stitching and quilting.

The course consists of 15 full video tutorials in which I take you on my creative journey , whilst teaching you how to get the most from your machine and it's stitches. This project has no time constrictions...you sew when you want and take as long as you like so it's the perfect one for dipping in and out of. There is a private Facebook group for sharing progress, ideas and support and the results have been really inspiring and ...best of all...fun! So if you need a bit of stitching inspo or feel you're not making the most of your machines capabilities this could be the ideal project. Cost £30 (one off payment)

ONLINE CLASSES

I teach many technique and machine classes online over Zoom...ideal if you have a larger machine with lots of bells and whistles that is just too heavy to haul to a workshop!

Or perhaps find it difficult to get to an actual class or group near you.

The beauty of these classes is they are also recorded so most watch on the day and ask questions and then can sew along to the recording at their own pace. There is no time limit on the recording and if you miss the actual class you can catch up and email me about any questions afterwards.

What was a necessary method of teaching during lockdown has actually proved to be far more effective and fun than I ever thought possible and most classes have quilters and sewists from all over.
