In a Twist with Tina Finbow – Saturday 22nd March 2025 (10am – 4pm)

On this workshop you will learn about working with Half Square Triangles and you can either make a table runner, or learn the technique and make more panels at home to make a quilt.  This workshop is ideal for using a Charm Pack of fabric, 5” squares, or you can make the squares the size you want.  Ideally, if you are not using a pre-cut charm pack, you could pre-cut your squares before attending the workshop, so that you would get more of your project completed on the day.  You will need a sewing machine with a ¼” foot and a rotary cutter, quilting ruler and cutting mat, plus your standard sewing equipment. 

Depending on how much to you achieve on the day, you may get your table runner finished.  If you don’t, you will be supplied with instructions for finishing off at home.

This is an ideal follow on workshop from the Beginners Quilt.

Workshop Fee – £45.00 (This does not include your materials)
