Quilt-a-thon | Week 1

The Building Blocks Quilt from The Quilting Book has it all, from basic & curved piecing to English & foundation paper piecing. This quilt will guide you from a beginner to confident quilter, giving you the skills to confidently tackle future quilting projects.
Each Quilt-a-thon Workshop will start with quick lesson for a quilting technique used in Building Blocks. Use the rest of the workshop to make progress on your quilt and get the help you need from Jenni.
Quilt-a-thon Week 1
Build a strong foundation by learning accurate quarter-inch seams, pressing techniques, and basic piecing while creating your first quilt blocks.
What to bring:
- Your copy of The Quilting Book
- Notebook and pen to use to plan your quilt
- Basic sewing tools (Including fabric scissors, thread snips, pins, seam ripper, and fabric marking tools).
- Sewing machine in good working order. Much like driving, we find it’s best to learn on what machine you have available to you! Please be sure to bring the foot pedal, power cord, machine manual, and all accessories. If you do not have your own sewing machine you may rent one during class for an additional fee.
- Optional: Cutting mat, rotary cutter and ruler. We have 4 cutting stations available in The Stitch Easy to share.
Workshop fee includes 10% discount for supplies needed for the Quilt-a-thon.

| Instructor Bio: | Jenni has always loved crafting - from making friendship bracelets and potholders as a kid to embroidery and cross stitch as a teen and making quilts and attempting clothes as a young adult. Her love of quilting began as a child helping her great-grandmother make baby quilts for all the grandbabies. They were precious early morning moments that she still cherishes. Jenni’s absolute favorite thing to do is to teach people the super-power of sewing and seeing the joy on their face as they discover their own talent! |
