Join us for a relaxed but full morning of tuition on the techniques and stages involved in creating a beautiful textured raggy quilt. Depending on how big you want your quilt – you may not finish your quilt in this session but will leave with a good start made on your quilt in this fun workshop that you can then easily carry on at home and keep making it as big as you choose. This makes an ideal lap quilt, baby cot quilt, picnic blanket. They are very versatile quilts and hardwearing and need to be used and not just admired!
1 charm pack will make a small quilt of 25″x29″, 2 charm packs would be 37″x37″ which is standard baby size.
