Dream it, create it, adore it.

Private lessons, quilt camp and Open Studio time on High Street, for anyone picking up a needle and thread for the first time and for anyone coming back to it after years away.

Machines, cutting tools and a heat press are all here. Bring yourself.

The quilt everyone asks about

Dresden plate, pieced and quilted in the studio.

Twenty wedges in five fabrics, cream, sea green, pale blue florals, slate and navy, pieced around a navy centre and set on a navy ground with a pieced border. It hangs in the studio, and it is the quilt visitors ask about most.

The block behind it is where the Beginning Quilt Camp starts: two private sessions on the essentials, then four weeks of Open Studio to finish a top of your own.
