Beginning Quilting

This is a 6-week series. One registration covers all sessions. Attendance from the first class is required.

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of wrapping up in a quilt you made with your own hands. If you’ve been wanting to learn to quilt but weren’t sure where to start, this class is exactly what you’ve been looking for. In six fun, supportive sessions, you’ll learn the entire quilt-making process from start to finish — no experience necessary.

This is a small-group class, which means you’ll get individual attention and plenty of time to ask questions. Each week you’ll receive a digital reference guide covering what we covered in class, so by the end of the six weeks you’ll have a complete personal reference you can turn to for any quilt project going forward.

What You’ll Learn — Week by Week

• Foundation (Weeks 1–2)

• Week 1: Quilting 101, essential tools, color theory basics, and fabric selection
