During this four-hour class, you'll create a small approximately 18-inch quilt using orphan blocks while learning a technique that can easily be adapted for quilts of any size.

You'll also be introduced to glue basting using Elmer's Washable School Glue—a helpful technique for keeping your layers in place while you work.

Diane Foley | Quilting

Originally from Ohio, Diane moved to the Birmingham area after retiring in 2022. Her love of sewing began when she was six years old, when she made a dress for her doll using an old sock and a rhinestone button.

Encouraged by her grandmother, Diane continued developing her sewing skills, eventually progressing from clothing construction to quilting.
