Day 1: Saturday, July 20, 2024
Huller at Buller Workshop
(an unconventional curve class with some improvisation)
In this technique course you will learn how to sew long no-pin curves (elegant curve sewing without pins) using the Long Oval Drunkard's Path templates. These shapes are cut up and sewn together in a semi improvised way and a very skinny insert strip is inserted. Lots of opportunity to play with composition, shape and colour.
It will be a relaxed and playful course with (almost) unlimited design possibilities. Sew a few blocks for a mini quilt, a pillow or several blocks for an impressive quilt.
This full-day workshop will take place on July 20th from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the floor.
The course language is English.
