Textile Textures Playtime Online Course

Are you ready to challenge your creativity beyond traditional patchwork and quilting?  Ready to try out some Contemporary or Art quilt techniques?

Do you want to try things out without committing to huge expense?  Work with what you already have available?

This is a fabulous opportunity to experiment with textile techniques.  Each month for 12 months you will receive a new project, usually with short videos but always with a detailed tutorial to guide you through the technique.  There will be opportunities for guided play, ideas for further learning and a resource list.

As far as possible, the resources that you will need will come from your existing sewing supplies, your kitchen or even your bathroom!  And you can even try before you buy!
