Quilt Classes in Melbourne

What some of you may not know about me is that I’m a fully trained and qualified primary school (elementary) teacher. Being a teacher was something I have always remembered wanting to do, so when it came time to decide what to do/study at university, a Bachelor of Education was a no-brainer. However, I fell pregnant before I finished my degree, so instead of getting a job, I became a mum! Best decision ever. But you couldn’t stop me being a teacher. In Japan, I taught English classes at a private English school and loved being able to put my skills into action, and I continued to use my teaching skills by sharing tutorials and tips on this blog. One of my top 2 goals to achieve when moving back to Australia was to teach quilting in person. And that is now happening! Next month, you can find me teaching my Aurora Sampler at Amitie Textiles. Pinch me!

Class description

Aurora is a beginner-friendly class and I will be guiding you on your way to making a beautiful starry sampler. Covering a range of machine piecing techniques from flying geese and half-square triangles, to triangles-in-a-square and scrappy/improv triangles, it’s the perfect opportunity to work on these skills and end up with a fabulous quilt to show for it! In class, we will talk about fabric selection, tips and tricksxto improve accuracy within your blocks, and end with discussing how to finish off your Aurora quilt. This class is brilliant for beginners or anybody wanting to improve their machine sewing skills.
