Quilting 101 & Beyond

Contact: Janet Forton   412.429.5380       Quilters of all levels are welcome. This class meets the first Tuesday of every month.

This program does not have a set "schedule" so you can start @ anytime! It is up to you how fast or slow you want to progress. Learn all the different steps of quilt making at your speed and schedule. 

"Quilting 101" is where you'll start, especially if you are new to quilting.  This is training for traditional quilt making:  Using templates, hand cutting using scissors (not rotary cutting) & piecing.  You'll start with a "9 Patch" block and progress from there.  You learn about sashings & joining squares, borders, binding & labels.

You will also have the opportunity to set-up a practice up a quilt "sandwich".  And then you'll learn how to make a "proper knot" & how to hand quilt. For those who don't want to hand quilt other methods will be discussed.

"Beyond" is for more advance quilters. Other projects will be available based on skill level and interest.

Learn terms, tricks, methods, and get ideas.  Share your expertise.  Ask questions.  Most of all:  Have fun!

   Location: Small Meeting Room         There are many spaces available.
