Build Your Quilt, One Month at a Time!
Love the idea of a handmade quilt but feel overwhelmed by the scale of a full-size project? Welcome to our Block of the Month: Quilt-As-You-Go Series!
Whether you want to master a single favorite pattern or build a diverse "Sampler Quilt" brimming with different techniques, this rolling workshop is designed to fit your pace, your style, and your schedule.
Why "Quilt-As-You-Go" (QAYG)?
Traditional quilting involves wrestling a massive "quilt sandwich" through a small sewing machine. With QAYG, we quilt each block individually as we make it. By the time you’ve finished your blocks, your quilting is already done! You simply join the finished pieces together.
Manageable: No heavy lifting or bulky fabric bunches.
Instant Gratification: Walk away from every session with a finished, quilted square.
Versatile: Perfect for those with standard home sewing machines.
Choose Your Creative Path
The Sampler Route
New Skills Every Month: Each session introduces a different block (half square triangles (HST's) Flying Geese, Applique etc.).
The result - A stunning, eclectic Sampler Quilt that tells the story of your growth.
The Specialist Route
Master One Design - Find a block you love? Use every session to create multiples of that design.
The Result - A cohesive, themed quilt with perfectly practiced precision.
Our sessions are fully flexible. Book month to month as your schedule allows, or sign up for a 6-month block to commit to a full quilt project.
