Create a Lasting Memory with a Quilt
Losing a loved one is always hard, but there is a way to keep their memory close and create something beautiful at the same time. Abby is an experienced quilter looking to connect with and host other quilters (all levels) who have also lost a loved one.
Together you'll learn how to transform your loved one's clothing into a keepsake quilt that can provide comfort for years to come. Share stories, stitch memories, and connect with others who are also healing.
This class is as much about the comradery as it is about the quilting process and the finished product. You'll meet on the first Sunday of the month for five months with the option to extend regular meetings with your cohort at the end.

Skill Level: As far as skill requirement, it is challenging to work with different garments and fabric substrates, so we recommend you have some sewing and quilting experience. If this feels like the right group for you to join and you don't yet have the experience we recommend, please reach out to us anyway to discuss (hello@cutandsewphl.com).
Materials:
-
We'll provide the studio space and all equipment (sewing machines and tools)
-
You'll bring an assortment of your loved one's clothing, etc.
-
You'll need to purchase interfacing, batting, and additional fabric to finish the quilt (available in our shop, can be purchased during class when you're ready for it)
You'll have the option to complete the quilt top yourself, then hire us to do the longarm quilting for you if you'd like.
