New course information for 2024-2025. For Patchwork & Quilting enthusiasts, classes are continuing at my new studio here at Mole End, North Somerset (just off Junction 21 on the M5 near Weston-Super-Mare). After years of travelling to various venues It’s wonderful to have everything in one place – my books, resources, plus a lovely big pin-wall. a table for layering up big quilts and on-site parking for everyone! I’m winding down the City & Guilds courses I’ve taught for 25 years and concentrating now on short (and long-term) leisure classes. These are technique based courses – people choose what they want to learn and I teach topics as requested. There are courses to suit all levels of ability from beginner to advanced.

The Beginner’s class is once a month on Saturdays for ten months from September to early June. It covers a wide range of essential techniques to enable those new to the craft to get to grips with the basics and make a quilt. There are lots of examples on the website of sampler quilts made by absolute beginners. For more further information, dates and costs, click on ‘Select Page’ (for mobile users) or ‘Courses’ in the top menu.

For information on the Intermediate level and Advanced classes see also under ‘Courses’.

I hope you enjoy browsing through the inspirational items students have created – they never cease to amaze me! It’s a privilege to teach such enthusiastic students – we have a lot of fun! If you’d like to join us,  just get in touch!
