In this six hour class (one day or two sessions), you’ll be introduced to the world of quilting and go home with a small finished placemat or mini-quilt!

Ellen will provide you with a Glossary of Common Quilting Terms and teach you about tools and tricks to help you build a solid foundation for quilting. As you sew, Ellen will talk about quilting styles, from traditional to improvisation, color theory, and best practices so you can move forward on your path to success.

Students need to know how to fill a bobbin, thread a machine, and sew straight lines. If you do not have these skills, please take Welcome to the Machine.
