Why should you take this class...

  • It's FUN and it's FREE! What's not to love!
  • You'll learn how to do the foundation paper piecing technique so you'll be able to say yes to a myriad of fabulous quilt block patterns!
  • You'll get a free Speech Bubble FPP block
  • You get to see what an online class with Jo (aka The Crafty Nomad) is like. It’s also a great opportunity for you to get a little taste of what it feels like to be a Quilt Hive member. I've structured this class in a similar way to Quilt Hive classes, so if you love this class there's more of this in my membership.

I've been teaching sewing, patchwork & quilting for over 10 years and I'm excited to help you.  I've taught in fabric shops, at Quilt Shows (including the Festival of Quilts), and even on a transatlantic cruise!

I have absolutely LOVED helping every single one of my students 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.
