What could be more fun than making a quilt together on a cold winter's day? Perhaps learning an old technique of hand sewing a quilt block called 'string' quilting! In the 1850s, 'string' quilting technique was used to make a quilt block from small pieces of fabric that were hand sewn on to paper. The pattern we are using is based on a historic string quilt from our collection called 'spider web'. All the skills from piecing quilt tops to perfecting the hand quilting stitch will be taught by the Homeplace staff quilters.
During this four hour workshop, you will learn this unique method of piecing a string quilt. Later, add a batting and backing and learn the traditional quilting stitch to create a table runner. Choose your favorite fabric from the Homeplace reproduction cloth stash to make a block that is uniquely you! Then, learn simple hand sewing stitches to 'hand piece' your quilt block. Later you will add the batting and backing material and learn the traditional quilting stitch.
All supplies are provided. Take home a string quilt 'spider web' block table runner! String quilt blocks are so fun to sew that you will want to make several more and create an heirloom quilt that will be enjoyed by your descendants for years to come
