Wholecloth Baby Quilt with Johanna Masko
DATE: Tuesday Sept 30th & October 7th (Note: This is a two-session workshop, 6 hours of instruction.)
TIME: 6pm-9pm
Whether you’re new to quilting or have been making quilted projects for some time, the Wholecloth Baby Quilt will change the way you think about quilt construction! Using one piece of fabric for the top (the “whole cloth”) and another single piece for the back, this little quilt proceeds directly to finishing techniques- offering clear and simple answers to the “what should I do next?” question. The Wholecloth Baby Quilt is made entirely by machine in this two-part class.
Supplies required for this class (please bring with you):
1.25m for top (quilting cotton or flannelette), pre-washed and pressed
1.25m for quilt back and binding (quilting cotton ONLY), pre-washed and pressed
34 x 42” piece of thin cotton batting baby quilt size (can be larger, will cut to size in class)
All purpose sewing machine thread (Gutermann, Mettler, Aurifil recommended, will be seen on both sides of the quilt)
Tools needed (available to purchase, or let us know if you need to borrow):
Long yellow-ball-headed pins (“quilter’s pins”)

Washable/removable fabric pencil, chalk wheel, or fabric marker (NOT Frixion), in a colour that can be seen on the quilt top fabric
