Quilting
The Stumpy Quilter — Longarm Quilting Experiences
"Cupboards full of quilt tops waiting to be finished?
Desperately want them quilted but "Quilt by Credit Card" prices putting you off?
Have you always wanted to have a go on a longarm quilting machine?
Fancy finishing that quilt yourself?
How about learning a new skill while having lots of fun?
Here at the Stumpy Quilter I run 1-2-1 experience days for quilters in a brand new rural studio.
We start the day with a lesson on a professional longarm where you will learn to quilt a pantograph design of your choice from the collection at the studio.
With lots of friendly help and guidance, you will have the opportunity to quilt that design on to your very own patchwork topper.
No experience required!
Contact me and we can discuss your plans so the I can help you to make your beautiful patchwork into the quilt of your dreams!"
