Join Sarah Gagnon as she walks step-by step through making a quilt by hand. She will share tips she’s learned from years of quilting, links to her favorite supplies, and much more. All skill levels are welcome. The blocks will be sewn with a machine, but the quilting stitches are by hand.
Sarah will be teaching four variations of the log cabin block which are perfect for beginners, but make room for incredible compositions that will inspire even the most seasoned quilter. The log cabin has incredible potential and allows the designer to decide if they want to stick to precise measurements and careful seam alignment or work more freely.
