Hand Quilting with Sarah Hibbert

About this course

Participants will develop a roughly 10-inch patchwork block using fabric piecing influenced by log cabin designs. The course explores how the width and arrangement of fabric strips can affect colour, texture and rhythm, with choices guided by the materials. Once the block is assembled, teaching covers hand quilting and finishing methods, including simple and face binding. The format combines demonstrations with individual making and discussion in a small class setting.

What you'll learn

• Construct a patchwork block using log cabin-inspired fabric piecing
