Beginner friendly class!

This is a fun and easy class that will teach you how to piece your own improvisational crib or lap sized quilt. You don’t need to worry too much about cutting fabric the right size or sewing perfect seams. Just come, have fun, explore color, and leave with your own, unique quilt top.

Are you finding the idea of lining up seams and matching perfect points a bit tiresome? Have you been eyeing those lovely improvisational quilts all over the internet and wondering how people do that? Or do you just want to do something to break out of a creative rut? The basketweave is a great opportunity to play with value and the interaction between colors. It's also very scrap friendly and works well with upcycled fabrics.

Skill level: ✂️ to ✂️✂️✂️

Whether you're new to sewing or you'd really love a little extra help to make sure you're doing it correctly or you have a few projects under your belt this is a great class for you. 

Supplies: 

The supply list will be emailed upon registration. 

About the Instructor:

Stacey Sharman grew up in rural Virginia where a favorite family outing was going to antique malls, auctions, and yard sales. She was always intrigued by the history and the mystery of discarded, lost, or abandoned objects. Channeling that into her work, she found great satisfaction in creating something lovely and new from what others may see as useless. The art of creating patchwork mimics the art of life: creating the most beautiful thing you can with what you have at hand.
