Photo Memory Quilt Class - September School Holidays

Learn to print your favourite family, pet or friendship photos onto printable fabrics and sew them into this lovely charm square quilt, designed by Moira Bevan.  Students can collect signatures or write descriptions onto the sashing strips.

To make this quilt Moira collected her favourite pictures of her parents, husband and children (although daughter Frances says that they are the worst photos she has ever taken of her!), and wrote descriptive captions under the photos in a permanent marker. 

Moira designed this project for Frangipani Fabrics as a fun way for school students, and school leavers to commemorate their year, but adults are welcome to the class as well. 

All patchwork techniques will be taught at a beginner level. Students will learn to print photos onto fabric, rotary cut, sew accurately and will machine quilt and bind their quilt top.

If you can't come to the class, you can always purchase the Photo Memory Quilt pattern ($13). 

When: September school holidays -  Tuesdays and Thursdays 6, 8, 13 and 15 1-4pm (4 sessions of 3 hours). Tutor: Moira Bevan. Cost: $108.00 (includes $13.00 pattern cost).  Ages 12 and up welcome!

You can enrol through our website, or in person.
