With our expert quilters Carol Balfe and Susan Mehmet.

Looking to expand your quilting? Come and join us here for a one day workshop to learn English paper piecing.

It is the technique of folding fabric over paper templates and hand sewing these together. The paper template shape ensures the blocks are accurate and also makes it easier to piece angles together.

English Paper Piecing, (EPP) requires only; paper, fabric, scissors, thread, and needles and is the perfect craft to take with you and sew by hand anywhere.

This workshop will be an introduction to the craft and you will be able produce a cushion cover or bag of your choice using hexagon templates. 100% cotton fabric is ideal and can be bought at Stitch in fat quarter sizes, or bring your own.

You could make beautiful quilts with this method or alternatively a table runner, mats or even a dress, jacket or up-cycle something that has been forgotten in your closet!

Come and join us with your own ideas of how you can use English Paper Piecing and we’ll help you turn them into beautiful items to treasure or to give as handmade gifts.

With the guidance of our amazing Carol and Susan you will leave our workshop with the confidence to venture further in the world of quilting.
