Cutting Cloth : Melbourne

8 May, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

Start your Chuck Nohara journey with some top tips and techniques at Cutting Cloth, Melbourne.

I’ve completed two versions of the stunning Symbol Quilt by Chuck Nohara, and I love showing others how to master sizing your blocks, choosing an approach and layout options for your completed quilt.

Students will need their own copy of Chuck Nohara’s 2001 New Patchwork Patterns, published by Quiltmania.

Classes will be held on 8th May, 31 July, 28th August and 23rd October.

Other patterns also available, details to be confirmed.

Quilts last many years, work with fabric that makes you happy or suits your decor. There are many specialised quilt fabric stores, you can buy fabric online or at Spotlight, Lincraft etc.

To begin with you will need a minimum of 4 different fabrics: chose a medium sized print that you like, select two plain colours that coordinate with it and a smaller complementary print.
