Quilting Classes

Come along and join Rachael for a fun day of sewing. Make any of Rachael's quilts or try your hand at her famous Wizz Bang Circles.

"Whizz Bang! introduces participants to the different ways of making the kaleidoscopic Whizz Bang circles that feature in Rachaeldaisy's award winning quilts. There will be tips and tricks for making the blocks easy and effective with lots of room for participants to be creative with their work. The circles can be used in a variety of projects whether it be quilts, wall hangings, table runners, cushions, bags or even garments.

These techniques are suitable for beginners but also wonderful for more experienced sewers who would like to try something fun and different."

We are happy to welcome Rae Telfer back to Millrose once again. Rae will be teaching her 'Walking with Heffalumps' quilt for us. As this quilt is hand stitched, Rae is the perfect person to teach this method. Learning skills and procedures is an essential part of Rae's teaching. The main focus though is to enjoy the experience and have a fun day with good food, laughter and work on creating a wonderful quilt.

   

We are very happy to once again have Christine Vlasic as a teacher here at Millrose.

Join Christine for a day of hand or machine piecing.

Choose from one of Christine's beautiful patterns including the stunning Marrakesh.

All Christine's patterns are beginner/advanced friendly.

 

In this Textile Art Class, Christine will treat you as artists for the day and take you through a range of appliqué and stitching techniques to help build your knowledge, skills and confidence to create an artwork using textiles and threads as your palette.

You will explore shading, dimension, and composition. Each class offers something new, including mini tutorials on how to use mixed media and machine stitched elements into your work. As each artwork comes to completion, participants will be guided on how to prepare work for display (framing or hanging) and for dedicated art students, ways to present your work for study assignments and/or enter art exhibitions.

Christine’s style of teaching is inclusive and easy going and participants are encouraged to work at their own pace. The word ‘perfect’ is gently placed aside whilst the artistic process is in progress and “the more flaws the better, the more interesting the piece becomes. I have six golden rules I abide by: “nothing is right or wrong; no unpicking; mix warm and cool, dark and light colours; bring bold and delicate prints together; respect the marks you make with stitch; and believe in yourself!”

Come and have a day of artistic enjoyment. There are layers of learning to stimulate the mind and you will experience satisfaction in completing your very own textile artwork. Individuals who have participated in one or more of my classes are amazed with how each piece naturally evolves and how ‘in tune’ they become to the process, and what the fabrics, colours and textures are telling them!
