Quilting Classes Geelong – How To Sew A Quilt

Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013

Quilting Inspiration – check out what our quilting students have been making in our quilting classes at Rosewood Cottage.

In the video below Jacqueline shares her finished quilt and the beautiful quilts from our other quilting students PLUS find out what NOT to do when sewing a quilt!

Jacqueline is delighted with her finished quilt below and said

“One of the things I loved about joining the Quilting Class at Rosewood Cottage Geelong was not only to learn how to make my first quilt, surround myself with other wonderful creative people but also what gets booked in – gets done! I loved scheduling the class dates into my calendar to look forward to!”

Kelly made her beautiful quilt below for one of her daughters and can’t wait to make a second one for the other!

Fiona made this gorgeous puppy paw print themed quilt below for her dog but we all thought it was too good and should be hung on the wall inside instead

Dawn was delighted with the result of her very first quilt below – well done Dawn!

Mariela had a grandson born on the same day as Prince George and made this very special quilt for him below. Gorgeous!

Brigitte enjoyed the quilting class too and made this lovely quilt below – well done Brigitte!

Sonia made this pretty pastel elephant quilt below for her granddaughter Rosie who just loves elephants! So cute!
