Beginner Quilting Class at Slowfiber

Slowfiber's Beginner Quilting Class, Part 2 starts on Friday, August 25, 1pm-3:30pm, and continues monthly through November. Fee is $200 for the series - please register on our website.

If you are new to quilting or just need some help with the minutiae of machine piecing then get in here! This round of classes builds on the first semester of work at Slowfiber (February-May) but can be learned independent of the first semester.

Six inch quilt blocks will be standard and we will be stacking skills from month to month. We will use the book, The Farmer's Wife, 1930's Sampler Quilt, by Laurie Aaron Hird, a collection of inspiring letters from the publication The Farmer's Wife featuring women of the Great Depression and 99 quilt blocks that honor them. This book is an encyclopedia of traditional piecing with lots of help built in.
