Double Lucky Star Quilt - Patchwork & Quilting for Beginners

Description

This ongoing course will cover an introduction to patchwork on the sewing machine. Over 6 sewing sessions with some homework you will create this fabulous 'Double Lucky Star' quilt by Living in Loveliness finished size 71 x 71 inches. [180 x 180 cm - she's a big one!]. You will have the pattern to keep (RRP £9.99) with instructions and colour photos. 

Initially we will learn how to cut accurately using the rotary cutter and rulers. Then moving on to creating the blocks. Then piecing the quilt top. Once all that cutting and stitching is done we will create a quilt sandwich and quilt using the machine. Last but not least we will learn how to attach and finish the binding.
Every session will be held in the sewing studio upstairs at Stitching Kitchen, we will stop for a cuppa and cake half way through. Janine from the Fat Quarter will be running the course, and she holds monthly long-arm clinics that you'd be welcome to drop into if you'd like any further pointers, or would like to outsource the quilt finishing to her!

I can’t wait to get started and see how you get along with your Double Lucky Star quilt.
