In one day you will complete a table mat (approximate size 12” x 12”) to learn the entire process of making a quilt.

Learn to:

– compare fabrics
– read a quilt pattern
– safely use specialized cutting tools
– cut and sew the “Shoo Fly” block
– cut and sew a border surrounding the block
– quilt the layers together 
– prepare and stitch a binding for a clean finish to the edges

If you have a portable sewing machine you may bring it (complete with a bobbin and your machine manual). Some sewing machines are available in class, so bringing a machine is NOT necessary.

As interest allows, we will have additional classes monthly to learn to make different blocks, which can be utilized as units in a lap or wall quilt.

Supplies to bring (again, this is optional as we have supplies in class):

– sharp scissors
– rotary cutting kit (cutter, cutting mat, accompanying cutting ruler)

Fabric, thread and batting will be supplied through the materials fee. You may choose to bring your own fabric (three fat quarters of cotton fabric).

Basic sewing machine experience is required.

Note: There will be a 30 minute lunch break; please bring a bag lunch.

Please share any special considerations (medical, physical, learning) that will help your instructor make your class accessible and accommodating for you. You can share these considerations when register or by emailing Sean at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org.
