Saturday 01 August 2020: Online Workshop (Manx Patch + Quilt As You Go)

Sarah Payne - Satirday 01 August 2020 - 10.00am to 1.00pm + 2.00pm to 5.30pm (BST)

Online Interactive Workshop: Manx Patchwork + Quilt-As-You-Go

Join Sarah Payne to learn to make a gorgeous Manx Patchwork + Quilt-As-You-Go Table Runner.

In the morning we will be working on Manx Patchwork quilt blocks.

​

You should complete more than one block in the class so prepare 2 – 3 blocks. Requirements for this online interactive workshop are as follows:-

• Plain fabric – 10-inch square per block. Calico is a good option because it is cheap and will never be seen.
• Wadding and backing fabric – 10-inch square per block.
• Fabric for binding – the amount is dependent on how many blocks you wish to make. 2 blocks will need less than a fat ¼ of fabric. Do not pre-cut.
• Sewing machine with a standard sewing machine foot and a walking foot.
• Ruler, rotary cutter and mat.

Fabric choices for this online interactive workshop are as follows:-

• You can be scrappy or simply use two fabrics for your block. However, you do need a contrast and the best way to ensure that is to separate your fabrics into light and dark ones.

Pre-cutting:-

In order to make a couple of blocks for the afternoon class, please pre-cut your fabric strips. For one block you will need:

• A total of eight strips from your fat 1/4s measuring 2 inches wide. Cut the strips from selvedge to selvedge (along the long edge) so you should end up with a pile of strips measuring about 20inches by 2 inches. You can also use shorter strips from your stash if you have any as long. You will need a selection of light and dark so cut 4 from the light pile and 4 from the dark.
• You will need at least two sets of the above.

In the afternoon we will continue making a few more blocks and then will put them together using the Quilt-As-You-Go technique. Once everyone has at least two blocks completed we will discuss quilting for both options, and then use the same technique to make the table runner!

​Tickets for this Online Interactive Workshop (via the Zoom platform) will be limited & allocated on a first-come/first-served basis!
