The Course: "Jelly Rolls"
O.K so how many Jelly Rolls (these are rolls of 2.5" wide strips of fabric rolled together) have you bought and don't have a clue what to do with them? There are lots of books on the market to give you inspiration (see Amazon), so why not come and make a quick quilt. I have loads of patterns and ideas too. This course is suitable for beginners and experienced stitchers alike.
The Course: "UFO'S"
How many unfinished quilts do you have in your cupboard? How many kits
in your cupboard waiting to be started? Is your excuse lack of time? Then
this is the course for you. A whole week uninterrupted to just quilt –
sounds bliss doesn't it. You will receive individual tuition on your particular
project and kick start your quilt no matter what the mental block is.
Add the camaraderie of soulmates, plus the inspiration of seeing other
peoples work, excellent food, sun, great location. The result - Heaven!
The Course: "Appliqué Medallion Quilt"
This is a brand new design for this course. The main focus will be a 24
inch square basket of flowers design worked in hand appliqué the Krys
Evans method. Krys has devised a brilliant method of producing accurate
appliqué with the minimum of fuss which bypasses endless marking up of
the design. A few simple tips will enable you to produce a successful
piece. In addition, your instructions will include blocks to complete
the quilt to a double bed size.
The Tutor: Krys Evans
Krys needs very little introduction to many of you. After 12 years Krys
has recently sold her successful Patchwork and Quilting business in London,
and plans to spend more time teaching. She has many years experience teaching
textiles and has often been described as an "enthusiastic and inspirational
teacher".
