Last Saturday I gave my first Quilting 101 class!!!
Ok I only had one student...but that way I was able to test my class plan and see if it worked in the time I had.
My class included
-Essential Tools
-Example of different quilt making technique
-How to choose your fabric (with a bit on color Theory)
-Preparing and cutting fabric
-Quilt construction (strip piecing, chain piecing , making HST, pressing the seam, butting the seam and calculations for borders
-Sandwish ing
-Hand and machine quilting
-Binding
I think it cover the whole thing :)
My student was able to make her first "finished quilt" in the 3.5 hours of the class and left with a smile on her face. I can't ask for more :)
This is the "Quilt" I had her made....I think it cover the basics quilt well.(This one is mine)
Next Saturday I will give the class again and I might have as many as 4 students, and I have to give it in french and in english at the same time!!!! Can't wait :)

Congratulations! I love teaching and getting people started on the path of quilting is so much fun.
ReplyDeletewhat a lucky student to have one to one teaching so good that she went home with a completed piece too
ReplyDeleteSounds like an excellent class that I think you'll be able to offer over and over. I'm sure your students will be very happy to take their beginning class with you. Congratulations.
