DIVIDE AND CONQUER ©
1 day with optional second day
[a design workshop suitable for all skill levels]
DIVIDE AND CONQUER is a gentle class for those wishing to explore original design work but don’t know where to start. With your tutor as guide, you will create one or more small quilt tops in a day using easy design exercises. Use of colour, design principles and cut and paste methods will be explained before you cut your fabric and fuse a design in place. Don’t stress, we’re here to have fun!
Day 2 Stitching and quilting options are covered in detail. Students can choose to stitch the quilt top from day one or create another quilt top.
