Fall 2015 Retreat at Elim Lodge

Quilted Rug with Albert Cote

Date: April 29, 2018

Time: 10:30-4:30

Location: Thornton Dundee Park Clubhouse, Oshawa

Cost: $70.00, no pattern required

In this VERY innovative and fun class, students will create a beautiful one of a kind quilted rug. Using at least three and up to five fabrics, plus batting and backing, we will layer the fabrics making a sandwich. Then Students will "doodle" a design on the top fabric and stitch their doodle through all layers. Once they have their design secured they will cut through to the desired colours underneath and begin to see their rug pattern and colors appear. Once all the cutting is complete they will echo quilt inside the cut design.
