Programs
Class will cover a brief history of traditional patchwork and the ways it has been adapted as an art form over time. There will then be a demo on how to select, cut, and piece fabrics into a nine-patch block and a discussion of how to cut and piece other simple blocks. Participants will create their own nine-patch block design from a variety of precut fabrics and piece them with guidance from the instructor.
Class will emphasize ways to embrace slow stitching and how hand sewing can promote relaxation, connection, and mindful creativity. Participants will work at their own pace with the option of finishing their patchwork in class or at home.
Finished nine-patch blocks will be approximately 8” x 8” and can used as the start of a quilt project, textile art journal, or to mend and embellish clothing. No prior sewing experience is necessary. All supplies are included.
Skills covered in this class:
• Discussion of tools and materials needed
• Selecting and preparing fabrics for patchwork, including scraps and recycled fabrics
• How to cut fabrics for patchwork
• How to combine fabric colors creatively to design a nine-patch quilt block
• How to thread a needle and tie a knot
• How to stitch a running stitch

REFUND POLICY:
Important Considerations: As a small non-profit organization, we strive to keep class sizes small and affordable. Please only register for classes you will be able to attend, and reserve cancellations for emergencies and illnesses. Even with the waitlist that we offer for most classes, when you cancel out of a class, the other excited potential participants may have made other plans because the class is full.
This refund policy was established to honor 577's Instructors, to respect the time and energy they invest in preparing for each class, and to encourage class participants to weigh their class registrations carefully and in balance with other potential participants.
If you choose to withdraw from a class, the refund policies are as follows:
Refund via the Original Method of Payment ~ Credit Card, Cash, or Check*:

>>> No refunds will be given for cancellations two (2) business days prior to the start of class. (If we can fill your spot with another participant, you will receive a 100% refund, less a 5% administrative fee.)
