DATE: Sunday 15th July
CLASS: Learn to make the Pickled Fish Blocks with Chris
COST: $70 pp 10am – 3.30pm
Chris Jurd’s quilts are immediately recognisable for their fearless curves, points and colour and Chris is well known as an experienced and organised teacher accredited by QuiltNSW.
In this one day class Chris will introduce you to her Pickled-Fish block. This block is Chris’s contemporary take on the traditional ‘pickle-dish’ block. In class you will learn to construct the block by machine using foundation papers, taking the fear from your curves and points.
You have the choice to make the block on it’s own as a learning exercise or you can go on to make many more and complete a quilt top.
