An Introduction to Quilting by Hand with IKEA Fabrics | 24th and 31st Oct 2025

Join tutor Emma Tudor-Bloch on this short course, spread over two Fridays where you will receive an introduction to quilting by hand. 

This class is ideal for anyone wishing to learn the basics of quilting. Using the technique of English Paper Piecing (EPP) and working with Ikea fabrics, participants will learn how to design and create their own quilt square entirely by hand. Step by step, participants will be taught the process of drafting a quilt block and choosing, then preparing the fabric for their design, patchworking each piece together and eventually backing and quilting the design. Participants will leave with a completed quilt block, as well as the skills to begin their own more elaborate projects from home. 

No prior experience is required, though the ability to accomplish very basic hand sewing would be beneficial. 

All equipment and materials will be provided, though participants are encouraged to bring their own scissors if they have some.

This is a two day workshop that runs on Friday 24th October and Friday 31st October

Friday 24th October 10am – 2pm

Friday 31st October 10am – 2pm
