Information on the quilt classroom
"When I look into the classroom one day, I hear a lot of fun laughing. Everyone is cheering as they unfold their own quilts and the quilts that have finally been completed over time. Different fabrics and different patterns. There are bedspreads and small tapestries that show the individuality of the quilt. There is no curriculum in this classroom. For those who are new to quilts, we will prepare a kit only for the first time. If you have a small piece of work or a cloth you want to use, start from there. You will nod or open your eyes by the teacher's story and advice. It's really pleasant!! Whether you are new to quilting or have been tingling for years, this is a classroom that anyone can enjoy. If you are interested in quilts, you can use any cloth. Indigo-dyed cloth, American cotton, shirts that can't be thrown away, or memorable kimonos are fine. Tips on how to sew, how to hold needles, how to apply patterns, how to match colors, etc. There are many things you should know rather than not know. Those wisdoms will enrich and help you. "
