Bill will be teaching a 6-week Memory Quilt course on Monday evenings starting on March 25th at the County Arts Lab in the Armoury.
Memory quilts can be made from any textiles of significant meaning: t-shirts, sports jerseys, old clothing, tablecloths, linens, or anything else you might have a sentimental connection to. Bill will provide instruction on how to assemble four simple quilt blocks including scrappy nine patch block, Irish chain block, half-square triangle block, and flying geese block. He will also introduce the idea of the memory quilt and show examples, helping participants through designing and sewing their own lap-sized memory quilt from textiles brought from home.
Please note - this course is taught using textiles each participant brings. The instructor will have extra fabric available that can be purchased for cost. Bringing your own sewing machine is recommended, but no sewing experience is required.

➡ Sliding scale pricing available
➡ The County Arts Lab is conveniently located on the main level of the Picton Armoury building.
