Taught by Tara Faughnan
Color fanatics and hand-stitching aficionados will find a lot to love in Tara Faughnan's “Big Stitch” quilting class. Tara shares her techniques for picking harmonious fabric colors to sew a high-contrast bar quilt, then shows how to quilt by hand with a dazzling array of threads. The final product is a richly layered piece that can be used for a mini-quilt or pillow top – or you can go big and apply this technique to a full-size quilt. The process is playful and inspiring, suitable for both first-time quilters and more advanced stitchers.

I’ve taken an in-person class from Tara and this was just as great, even better given that it’s online. She has a great “voice” for color selection. I’ll be pulling out some pieces I started in her in-person class and finishing them with big stitch quilting.

The class helped me to find a starting place for hand quilting. Her information and tips were in lightening. I felt braver about starting to quilt. I'm starting with her sampler.
