T-Shirt Quilt Workshop
Tee Shirt Quilt Workshop
Have you always wanted to turn a collection of meaningful tee shirts into a beautiful quilt? Whether it’s concert tees, sports jerseys, college shirts, race shirts, vacation memories, or favorite everyday tees, this workshop is designed to help you preserve those memories in a cozy, one-of-a-kind quilt you can enjoy for years to come.
Join Tara and Leslie for this hands-on, two-session workshop where you’ll learn the process of planning, preparing, and beginning construction of your very own tee shirt quilt. Throughout the class, you’ll receive step-by-step instruction, demonstrations, personalized guidance, and plenty of time to practice techniques with support along the way.
This workshop is perfect for beginners as well as quilters looking to build confidence working with knit fabrics and stabilizers. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have the skills and knowledge needed to continue assembling and finishing your quilt independently at home. Tara and Leslie will also be available outside of class to answer questions and provide helpful tips as you continue your project.
