Hand Quilting with Sarah Hibbert
Maximum Class Size: 6
Level: Suitable for confident beginners – basic sewing machine skills required.
Join modern quilter and collage artist Sarah Hibbert for a joyful day of hand quilting and fabric piecing, guided by intuition, colour, and texture. Working from a log cabin-inspired block, you’ll explore creative patchwork techniques—piecing your fabrics with intention, letting materials lead the way, and building a block around 10" square.
Experiment with wider pieces to show off your quilting, or work with narrow strips to explore colour and rhythm. Once your blocks are complete, Sarah will demonstrate hand quilting and finishing techniques, including both simple and face binding. Expect a relaxed, inspiring day full of colour, conversation, and creative stitching.
What’s Covered:
- Piecing a log cabin-style patchwork block
- Playing with fabric placement, colour, and scale
- Approaches to hand quilting for texture and definition
- Binding and finishing techniques
- Tips on fabric handling and mixing materials
Materials:
All tools and materials are provided. Sarah loves working with our washed and herringbone linen for its tactile quality, and a range of plain linen fabrics will be available in class. You’re also welcome to bring your own fabric scraps—cotton works well too!
