Cowslip on The Helford Workshops
Wednesday 12th June
Wednesday 11th September
Wednesday 13th November
Join us for a brand-new series of workshops during 2024.
During the course you’ll create a beautiful piece of work under the watchful eye of Jo Colwill from Cowslip Workshops, Launceston.
For those who are new to patchwork, quilting and applique this will be an introduction to making a simple strip or row type quilt , possibly with a theme or just a nice collection of fabrics and colour, by cutting 6” wide lengths of fabric and joining in a random way with no matching of seams. This is a gentle introduction to patchwork and piecing. Once you have pieced the fabrics together, you can overlay simple applique, like animals or boats.
