This is a basic quilt weaving class. I have several techniques to show you, from the simplest to the more complex. The lessons are compiled from previous online workshops and are listed below in the order they might be considered in learning this technique. As you might know from my blog, I tend to approach things in a more informal format... so at the bottom of some of the lesson pages I did include some of the related what-iffing I did along with the class. These links are noted as "sandbox links" and might give you some extra ideas.
This course is a web hosted video instruction series. All lessons are also available in PDF format. You can download and or print the pdf files if you like. The PDFs contain links to the class lesson videos.
