Discover one of patchwork's best-kept secrets! In this friendly, beginner-friendly workshop you'll learn how a simple Nine Patch block can be transformed into a beautiful, eye-catching design with just a few clever cuts.

This workshop is the perfect introduction to patchwork and quilting. You'll learn essential techniques such as accurate rotary cutting, sewing a consistent ¼" seam and pressing for crisp, flat blocks—all while creating a beautiful cushion cover you'll be proud to display at home or give as a handmade gift.

No previous patchwork experience is needed, and there are no silly questions. I'll guide you through every step, making sure you leave with new skills, increased confidence and a project you'll love.
