Dirty Quilting

  • MAKEbhm 4000 3rd Avenue South Birmingham, AL, 35222 United States (map)

Thursdays, October 1 - 22, 6 - 8pmDirty Quilting: a beginner friendly approach to quilting that prioritizes the joy of making over the precision of technical quilting. 

Want to learn quilting, but are too intimidated by the precision? The expectation to be perfect? Then this class is for you. Over four weeks we will break down the process of quilting a sawtooth star, from cutting to binding, leaving you with a finished panel perfect to hang on your wall, use as a table runner, or hide in the back of your closet. 

The focus of this class is creation, NOT perfection. If it was perfect, it wouldn’t be handmade. 

Students will be asked to bring two fat quarters of their choosing & their own sewing machine if they have one (if not, please let us know when enrolling)
