I love teaching and offer quilting classes in Hertfordshire tailored to suit your needs. My mantra is KISS – keep it simple, sweetie, and I really believe in using simple techniques to create stunning results. Classes take place in Watford and Letchworth, and also over Zoom. During these half day sessions I will work with you so that you can create a quilt or wall hanging. Each term will be a new project. Scroll down to see what’s on offer!
- Workshops take place over Zoom or In-Person and are between a half day and two days duration. Live teaching is supported by very detailed instructions with photographs and diagrams.
- Termly Group Courses are for you if you want to learn in a group setting. They take place weekly over Zoom or In-Person. The live teaching is supported by very detailed instructions with photographs and diagrams. Contact me for more information.
During the ongoing pandemic all classes will continue to be taught via Zoom until it is safe to do otherwise.
