Thimble Bee’s Learn to Quilt Series: Create Your First Quilt!

Class Overview

In this beginner-friendly Learn to Quilt Series, we’ll be diving into the world of quilting using the vibrant and modern Happy Stripes pattern by Emily Dennis.

With hands-on guidance, you’ll go from fabric selection to finishing touches, creating a beautiful quilt you’ll be proud to call your own!

Each 3-hour session is designed to walk you through each quilting stage, from piecing and assembly to quilting and binding. Key skills covered include:

  • Cutting and prepping: using cutting tools and rulers
  • Precision piecing and pressing to create perfect blocks
  • Assembling blocks to create your quilt tops
  • Quilting techniques suitable for beginners
  • Binding methods to finish your quilt beautifully

Don’t worry if you’re new to these terms—each step will be explained in detail with ample support along the way.
