There are many ways to construct the same quilt.
We all have our preferences and finding your favourite is a matter of trial and error. This class is for beginners through to experienced quilt makers who want to learn great techniques for quilt making.
From all the different forms of appliqué, foundation piecing and machine constructed blocks to putting your final design together into an interesting and eye catching composition.
Modern, Contemporary and Traditional quilts all rely on great technique from block construction to sashing, borders and binding. Lorena will guide you in finding your favourite way to achieve your goal.
Start a new quilt, work on one of Lorena’s patterns or bring your own project that needs a little help to get it done!

Japanese patchwork is delightfully quirky and addictive, the patchwork blocks in Chuck Nohara’s 2001 New Patchwork Patterns are no exception. Once a month, Lorena will guide you as you create your own masterpiece sampler quilt. Classes are guided by the needs of the students and loosely structured to cover block and layout design, different methods of construction including machine and hand piecing options, applique techniques and English paper piecing. With 2001 block options ranging from the idiosyncratic to the traditional there are enough blocks for a lifetime of quilts! (All students are required to own a copy of the book, available from Material Obsession).

Ring Cycles 2 Day Workshop - Ballarat

Swings + Roundabouts by Lorena Uriarte
I am thrilled to have the permission from Lessa Siegele to teach a workshop based on her Ring Cycles quilt. We will explore different options for making this fantastic pattern into your own beautiful quilt. Use low volume backgrounds with brights, colourful large scale prints or make a gorgeous two colour quilt.

Class size will be limited to 16 people. The class will be held off site from Cotton Factory, with full details emailed to all participants.
Day 1 would be cutting, making 9 patches and choosing middle hexagon method eg. Appliqued flower, pieced star, or plain hexagon. Day 2 is learning how to sew your quilt together.
Closer to the date you will receive a detailed requirements list. I used and recommend Marti Michell set H and I’ve also had setting triangles made up in acrylic templates. These are entirely optional (and will be available for purchase), and really helpful if you intend to make a big quilt.
If you want to simply learn the techniques and not make a huge quilt, cardboard templates will be sufficient.
Tuition, your pattern and catering are all included in your class fee.
