Description
Still haven’t dipped your toes into the quilting world, but wish you could? Do you find yourself enchanted by cuddly quilts and beautiful patterns, but don’t know where to start? If so, join us in March for this 2-day retreat as we gather to make an easy yet beautiful quilt. Designed to be throw size, the Allure quilt from Fabric Cafe is easily adapted to make a smaller, baby quilt if you prefer. This pattern is beginner friendly with lots of easy, straight sewing, and it uses only 3 yards of fabric for the quilt top and borders. You’ll learn all the basics, from accurate cutting techniques, to color theory, to sewing a perfect 1⁄4” seam. Join us for these two fun days – we’ve got your back from start to finish on this exciting quilting journey!

Instructor Bio: Diane began sewing at age 8, but it wasn’t until the mid 2000s that Diane dusted off her sewing machine and returned to quilting, which she’d done sporadically through the years. Needing a bit of a refresher in quilting techniques, Diane took a class at Cate’s (Intro to Quilting) after she and her husband relocated to Guilford, and it’s been “quilting love” ever since! An experienced teacher as well as nurse and attorney, she is excited about teaching quilting, and sharing her love of fabric, quilt designs and all things quilt-y!
