Hand Quilting

Hand quilting adds a certain magic to your quilt

5 hours

Max 6 students

Level 1, 39–43 Shepherd St, Marrickville

Hand quilting adds a certain magic to your quilts — a warmth and texture that machine stitching simply can't replicate.

And the good news? It's easier to learn than you think.

In this one-day workshop, world-renowned quilter Lorena Uriarte generously shares her deep knowledge of hand quilting technique. You'll work through a simple quilt sandwich of plain fabrics and batting — or bring along orphan blocks from home if you have them.

By the end of the day you'll have a beautiful new hand skill and the confidence to use it on every quilt you make.
