Time: 9:30 setup for a 10:00am start until 2:30pm

Focus:Machine Pieced Patchwork using rotary cutters and rulers, and sewing techniques on your machine.

A Kaleidoscope quilt is made using the colours of the fabric prints and clever cutting to make blocks that resemble the patterns made by a kaleidoscope. In this workshop, which introduces the techniques of Kaleidoscope quilting, we will use one print fabric only to create a myriad of different WOW blocks, and a sold fabric to join them together with.
