Beginners’ Patchwork Classes commenced on 8th January 2011 and consist of ten full-day sessions.  Classes are held on Saturdays from 10.00 am - 4.00 pm with a break for lunch between 1-2 pm.

Experienced teachers cover many different techniques including hand and machine work.   A list of requirements for the classes will be supplied when you have confirmed your interest/paid deposit. We have a shop available in the afternoon of Day 1 where supplies can be purchased, with assistance from tutors.

At the end of the 10 weeks, not only will you have completed a quilt, you will have made a lot of new like-minded friends.

Based on a class size of between 15-20 students, the cost of classes is €250 - €350.  Deposits can be paid at the November Branch Meeting.

For insurance purposes, persons attending the workshops must be members of the Irish Patchwork Society  Annual subscription, including the quarterly magazine is €40.  Subscriptions can be paid at the Branch Meetings.
