Excited to share that I am developing a variety of live classes over Zoom.
Still face to face teaching, just without the biscuits.
Live quilting classes, Workshops and Talks
If you prefer your learning in a group setting, join our friendly, supportive community of quilters either in person or online and explore your creative side, whilst sharing tea and biscuits. There might even be cake once in a while!
I love teaching and offer Live quilting courses in Hertfordshire and over Zoom. They are 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.
In-Person Termly Group Courses classes take place in Letchworth. 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!
- Online Termly Group Courses take place weekly over Zoom. The live teaching is supported by very detailed instructions with photographs and diagrams.
- 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.
- Below you will see some photographs of students’ work from different classes and workshops – Enjoy! And if you would like to see your work from one of our classes there, send me a good quality photograph and we’ll see what we can do!
During the ongoing pandemic, face to face classes will move to Zoom if it becomes unsafe to meet in person.

Termly online Live Group Courses
Classes run a half day a week over 10 weeks over Zoom, on
Thursday mornings, 10.00 to mid-day – aimed at all levels
Quilting classes over Zoom take the best elements of face to face classes and online classes. They are small (maximum of 10 people in each class) so that you get lots of individual attention and opportunities to develop at your own pace. Learning is supported by pdf tutorials and videos, and you have a lovely supportive community.
Each term there will be a new project, and these can be tailored to your skill level.
Watford Quilting Classes
We are taking a break from in-person classes in Watford temporarily. Keep an eye out here to be kept updated.
Quilting classes in Hertfordshire, Watford are very small (maximum of 4 people in each class) so that you get lots of individual attention and opportunities to develop at your own pace.
