Workshop details
Always fancied having a go at patchworking but not known where to start? This workshop is a great starting point!
Inspired by the quilts of Gees Bend, Christine's creative and fun approach to improvised patchworking is both rewarding and a little bit addictive. You will learn all the basics of making a patchwork panel as well as taking an illustrated look at the Gees Bend Quilters and the variety of their designs and quilts.
Specific skills you will learn at the workshop
