The workshop consists of three (3) lessons of about one hour each, once a week. This means you will have plenty of time to work on making your own design and templates, cut out the fabrics and sew the quilt together. In this workshop we work with the book "Kool Kaleidoscope Quilts" by Ricky Tims and I show you how to work with African prints.

Lesson 1 is about how to design your own templates and how to cut the fabrics

Lesson 2 is about how to sew the fabrics together

Lesson 3 is a Show & Tell where everyone will show what they have made so far and we will talk about the different ways you can finish the Kaleidoscope quilt.

These workshops are for 6-10 students and are taught using the online platform Zoom, that allows you to see and interact with me and the other class participants. At the scheduled time, we will log in together, everyone can see everyone else, so you can share work and ask questions. You can view the class on a computer, tablet or phone (you may need to download the app). You will receive login instructions including links and passwords by email on the morning of the class. Please be prompt and "arrive" online during the 30 minutes prior to class so you have time to set up and learn to use the video conferencing tools.

In between the lessons we stay in contact using a private Facebook messenger group where we can share questions and pictures related to the workshop.

It is important that you’re able to attend all three sessions in order to get the most out of each workshop.
