Classes for 2026
I’m now taking bookings for in-person quilting workshops in 2026. Whether you’re a guild looking to try something new or a shop wanting to offer your customers a fresh perspective, I’d love to bring one of these classes to your space.
Have a look through the options below, and if something sparks interest – or if you’d like to chat about tailoring a class – click the ‘Get in touch’ button.
WALKING FOOT QUILTING
One-day class (Two-day option available*)
Are you one of those quilters who only makes tops? Is it because you don’t own a long-arm? Or does learning free-motion quilting seem overwhelming?
Maybe walking foot quilting is for you!
Learn a selection of walking foot designs to give your quilts a fresh, modern approach. From linear designs like grids and matchstick quilting through gentle curves to stitch and thread effects, you’ll be creating your own quilted masterpiece in no time.
Some preparation is required before class.
Skill level: Intermediate patchworker
*On the second day participants bring their own basted quilt tops. We discuss design and thread approaches and students quilt their tops under guidance.
AHEAD OF THE CURVE
One-day class
Curves don’t have to be scary! In this class we’ll explore the versatility of the drunkard’s path block to create modern flower designs.
You’ll learn how to sew accurate curves with templates, while experimenting with colour, scale, and layout.
Each student will receive a copy of the Bloomin’ Lot quilt pattern, which we’ll use as a jumping-off point for your own floral compositions.
Whether you’re new to curves or looking to expand your skills, this is a fun and flexible class to grow your confidence.
Skill level: Intermediate patchworker
Papper Sax Sten templates are available for pre-purchase
DESIGN A MODERN QUILT
One- or two-day class
You don’t have to go improv to break away from using other people’s patterns. This class offers a structured, design-led approach to creating a quilt that’s uniquely yours.
Through guided exercises, you’ll explore your style preferences, learn to build a cohesive colour palette, and apply key modern quilting design principles. With creative prompts to get you started, you’ll also learn how to use a design brief as a springboard for developing original ideas.
TALL POPPY QUILT
Skill level: Experienced quilter
Day one focuses on design development: ideas, palettes, layout and planning.
Day two (optional) is a supported making day, where you’ll start piecing your design.
DENIM MASTERCLASS
One-day class
Make the Laid Back wallhanging or a Blue Giant bag and learn all the tips and tricks for sewing and quilting with denim.
In this sustainability-focussed workshop we’ll start with the deconstruction of a pair of jeans and work through to the peculiarities of quilting with denim.
WAGGAS REIMAGINED
One-day class
Gather your old clothes, worn out household linens, large sewing scraps, samples or vintage finds and turn them into a beautiful and functional wagga quilt.
Learn about the history of the wagga, typical wagga layouts, how to choose fabrics, tips and hints for working with different weights and materials, well as how to layer and finish.
Some preparation is required before class.
Skill level: Intermediate quilter
Skill level: Beginner quilter and up (must have sewing experience).
One-day wallhanging class
The Tall Poppy is a modern folk-inspired quilt pattern perfect for those who are ready to add curves to their repertoire or to perfect their curve technique.
The full pattern is included in the class cost, along with paper templates. The Tall Poppy is a great way to show off a single fabric range, a selection of solids or two colours for a striking finish.
