Hand quilting has been done through the ages and still valued as a pleasurable and beautiful way to finish small to large quilts. In this class, we will learn about the tools needed (required and optional), how to baste the “quilt sandwich” (the backing, batting and quilt top) and then learn the hand quilting technique. The kit for the class includes a 16” square pre-printed quilt block, batting, backing, thread, a few quilting needles and a thimble. No Special Requirements or previous experience is needed.  There is a material fee of $10 for the kit payable on the first day of class. 

Shirley Deasy has been making quilts for over 30 years. Shirley’s grandmother and mother made hand quilted quilts, and later Shirley taught herself to quilt them by hand. One of her hand quilted quilts received a Judge’s Appreciation Award at this year’s East Cobb Quilt Guilds Show; she won 3rd prize at the North Carolina State Fair in 2009 and in 2019, she won first prize for hand quilting at the Misty Mountain Quilt Guild show. Shirley, her husband, a silly Scottish Terrier and a lovable old cat live in Union County near Nottely Dam.
