Make a Quilted Cushion Cover

Join us for a relaxed session of sewing as you learn the basics of patchwork by sewing a Spinning Star Block.

You will then learn the basics of quilting as we machine quilt your finished star. All materials will be provided for the star and quilting. This will be finished as a cushion cover using the envelope method.

What you need to bring to the workshop:

  -Sewing machine, with a patchwork foot/1/4” foot though not essential

  -Light coloured thread

  -Basic sewing kit ie little scissors and pins 

This workshop is suitable for a confident beginner and above i.e. knowledge of how to use, thread and make bobbins on the machine.

About the Tutor

Tutor Jacki Bradley has been making quilts for 20yrs. Her Instagram or Facebook page, Heritage Quilts NI, is a good place for you to check out samples of work. From message quilts to commissioned birthday quilts each one is unique and personalised. These quilts are precious heirlooms to be passed from one generation to the next. 

Jacki finds quilting to be therapeutic and wants to share that with you also. She loves creating with fabric and is excited for you to unleash your creative side with patchwork and quilting. This new skill will allow you to create bespoke pieces for yourself, family and friends. Your first block will hopefully be the first of many quilting projects.
