Instructor:  Nancy Ruddock

Learn a simple “quilt as you go” method while completing a beautiful table runner.  (Since this table runner has arrived at CQ, it has attracted more attention than our other quilts!  The picture does not do it justice.)  The “quilt as you go” method can be used to make quilted vests, jackets, potholders, and many other quilted items. You will also be introduced to a simple way to make the pinwheel block used as the centerpiece of this table runner. We will also use the prairie braid and learn to bind the runner - the entire piece will be finished by the end of the three sessions! This is a great class for beginner quilters or those wishing to learn a new technique.

The pattern is available from the instructor free of charge! Kits for table runner are available from the instructor. The fabrics within the kit will vary from the sample. You may want to purchase a kit or choose fabrics from your stash or scraps.
