Join this exciting course to become a curvy piecing ninja! Have you previously struggled with piecing curves? Maybe it made you curse! Or perhaps you were too intimidated to try? Then this is the class for you.

Take the class and you'll no longer be afraid of curvy piecing, or improv cutting. I'll help you through every step. Together we'll add these skills to your quilty toolbox so you'll feel capable of attempting any curvy patchwork project in the future! Make your very own Sunset at Sea Mini Quilt.

We'll start off by covering shallow improv curves to piece the sea and the sky. Then you'll learn how to sew inset shapes by sewing in the sunshine. Finally you'll learn how to make a porthole window frame.

You might choose to add that and finish your mini quilt as a square, or you might like to finish yours as a circle. If choosing that latter option, I'll show you how to add a modern facing to finish off the circular edge.

This class is for you if you fancy making a quilt project using some improv techniques. Maybe you always make traditional blocks with straight edges, and feel like now is the time to step outside that comfort zone and try some improv and curves. Maybe you LOVE improv and fancy making this design. Either way, scroll on down to get all the details.

Finish the quilt as a Square or a Circle
The picture above shows the option with the porthole window frame. Mine finished up at about 24" square. 

The one below shows the quilt finished as a circle quilt. Mine finished up at around 17" in diameter. You'll be able to watch the video lessons for both options and learn all the skills, and then decide which one you'll make.
Take this course and you will learn:
  • How to sew Improv Curves 
  • How to sew Inset Shapes  
  • How to sew Porthole Windows  
  • How to add facing to the edges of a circle quilt
  • You'll also practise arranging your fabrics into an order that has a lovely colour transition

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.

Check out the Class Photo from when I taught this class on a Quilting Cruise!
