Love modern quilting?If you answered YES to any of these, then this workshop is for you!Quilters’ Guild teacher Gill enjoys breaking all the rules with her contemporary style, and the best part is that anyone – yes, anyone – can master her techniques easily!You don’t need to stitch in perfect straight lines or do free-motion quilting to achieve beautiful and striking results.Your finished pieces can be used to create:

• Quilts
• Wall hangings
• Cushions
• Bags
• Book covers
• Table runners
• Or anything your imagination inspires!

The size of your piece and the requirements you will need to make it will depend on what you choose to make with your creation and can vary in size from 8" square to A3. It really is up to you!During the workshop, you’ll learn to have fun with your fabrics using Bondaweb (lots of it!), along with circles and other shapes to create your very own masterpieces.And the best part? No two pieces will ever be the same!Come along, try something new, and enjoy a relaxed, creative day of modern quilting.We hope to see you there!About Gill: "Following a career as a Primary School Teacher I discovered patchwork and quilting. Learning the rules through a local class I very quickly learned to stretch them and began experimenting with various processes. Whilst I still make some traditional quilts my preference is making textile art pieces in a modern contemporary style. I also enjoy passing on my tips and techniques to others through in person workshops. After joining the Quilters Guild in 2013, I have served as Regional Coordinator twice and Festival of Quilts Officer as well as being involved in local groups in South Wales."The venue has parking.
