Social Tote Workshop: Friday 23rd March 2018
Arrival at 8:30am for an 8:45am sharp start. The workshop finishes at 3pm.
One of the beautiful things about handwork is the freedom it gives you to be mobile. The social tote is all about keeping your goodies together whether you are on-the-go with your buddies or toting your project around the house. Let’s keep it all together and looking good! This pattern is a collaboration between Carolyn Friedlander and Anna Graham (of Noodlehead).

Opal Essence Quilt Workshop: Saturday 24th March 2018
Arrival at 9:45am for a 10am start. The workshop finishes at 5pm.
Traditional tumbling block quilts are a firm favourite across the quilty universe. Opal Essence incorporates fun bubbles and curves to the linear design, an opportunity to play with colour and value. This design looks great in solids, bright moderns, muted sophisticated palettes and vintage prints. This timeless design allows your special fabrics to sparkle!
Learn the techniques to complete this stunning quilt in a variety of sizes. It’s a very flexible design – quilt blocks can be appliqued or machine pieced and then machine or hand pieced together.
Specific techniques taught in this class: Needle turn appliqué, machine pieced curves and y-seams, value and colour theory.
