Cathedral Window Quilting Workshop

 

 

Cathedral Window Quilting Workshop

30 April | 10.30am – 4.30pm

 

Join Ann from Midsomer Quilting for an expert, full-day workshop on the traditional cathedral window patchwork technique. You will learn how to use this technique and be guided to make a pin cushion and a needle case with the four-petal variation. Fabric, thread, and stuffing are included in the workshop.

Things you will need to bring to the workshop:

  • Hand sewing kit – needles, pins, small, sharp fabric scissors, thimble (if you use one)
  • Fabric marking pencil/pen (not a permanent marker)
  • Ruler with imperial measurements – we use a 1/4” seam in patchwork
  • Fabric scissors
