IMPORTANT NOTE FOR QUILT HIVE MEMBERS
If you are a member of Quilt Hive please be aware that the Month 7 module covers the topic of Foundation Paper Piecing.  The teaching lessons are pretty much identical, apart from the fact that we use a different pattern.  So you may prefer to wait for that module and buy the Afternoon Tea Pattern separately.  Alternatively, if you want to learn using this pattern and continue to have access to the FPP learning material if you ever leave Quilt Hive, than you might prefer to buy this course. :-)

I've been teaching sewing, patchwork & quilting for over 10 years and I'm excited to help you.  

I have absolutely LOVED helping every single one of my customers develop and improve their sewing, patchwork & quilting skills.  It's truly rewarding to see students progress and have 'lightbulb moments'.

I love teaching, breaking topics down into bite-sized chunks and making it achievable for all!  Since moving most of my teaching online it's been eye opening to realise that most people learn better this way: working at their own pace and having more time to practise; but still getting time with the teacher to ask questions.
