What is a quilt?
Simply put, it is two layers of fabric sandwiched together with a middle layer which is normally batting. However, the middle layer can be anything. Quilts originated as a domestic solution for a need to stay warm and have evolved into a unique art form. Early quilts were filled with old clothes, sacking, and even newspaper.

Join Robbie as we continue our series in learning to sew and/or quilt. She will be teaching techniques of "quilting" fabric together.

You choose how you want to use the fabric once you practice different ways to quilt it. All you need is a sewing machine and thread.

EVFAC Janome sewing machines are available for use during this class! If you do not have your own, please let us know in the designated spot on the registration form.

Materials Students should provide:

Please bring 10 -10 1/2” fabric squares at least 5 light colored or muslin, and 5 any color or pattern (10 total).

Sewing machine, if you have your own, and everything needed to make it operate. The sewing machine owners manual is also helpful.

Students will need thread as well, any kind or color.

Fabric scraps can also be found for sale in our donated goods section, and don’t worry, if you forget thread, etc, we have it at the center!

Please note: this is a 6 hour class: There will be breaks, but please bring lunch, snacks, beverages and a water bottle to keep up your strength.
