Hand quilting a wholecloth quilt enlivens the surface and adds beautiful texture to the front and back of your quilt. Anna Maria shows the entire process of creating a baby quilt, from laying out and basting, then highlighting the design of a printed fabric with even stitching, and finally binding the quilt with single fold bias binding. Anna Maria also shows gorgeous examples of how this technique can be applied to pillows and clothing.

So much practical information and regard for the comfort of the quilter is packed into this class. Combined with several other creativebug quilting classes I’m ready to get started on a quilt. Thanks!

Another nice class by Anna Maria Horner. I like that she is not shy about using bigger stitches on her whole cloth quilt.
