We begin at the Centre


The First class in a Medallion Quilt must begin in the centre, as this is how all Medallion quilts begin. Then adding rounds of additional blocks or strips complimenting the overall 'feel' of the finished quilt.
Our first class focused on an appliquéd Cosmo flower which included three-dee flower petals.

Second class added the first round of bricks or blocks including the posts at the corners. (All measurements given in the class)

Embellishing the corner posts included learning how to make Yo yo's. Other embellishments could include buttons or waiting to do the quilting, to use a 'different' corner pattern.

Summer Classes


Cosmo Flower Medallion lap quilt starts with the centre block.
An appliqué not done with fusible webbing.
Later we'll tackle Yo-yo's and prairie points!
We are going to learn some new techniques with marking and quilting as we go.
There is still room in the classes for "I've never sewn anything before!" or experienced quilters looking for some fun with a new project.
The class is 6 to 8 evenings spread over as many weeks. Choose Monday evenings or Thursday evenings.
Don't bring a sewing machine! as this series is all done by hand!
