Helen reviewed: Learn how to layer up, quilt and bind a quilt, table runner or placemat

"This is the 2nd course I have done with this charity and once again it was a great day! Teachers are really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The day started with being shown how to layer a quilt followed later with how to stitch it all together. I completed my first quilt and was really pleased with the result, thank you ladies!"

Mary reviewed: Learn how to layer up, quilt and bind a quilt, table runner or placemat

"I had a really enjoyable day , with a friendly group. I learned all the skills needed with options of how to work through issues that arise and what isn’t a problem when putting a quilt together. I did a small project of placemats , but have a lot of respect for those who were assembling a full bed sized quilt. I had not realised how many skills are needed to finish a quilt. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to dip their toe into understanding and learning the skills needed. The team were very helpful and helped to make difficult tasks become much easier. "
