Patchwork & Quilting with Janet Goddard - Strips That Sizzle

This event is held over two days - Saturdays 24 & 28 June 2025. The fee is for both days.

Take a pile of fabrics in one colour and cut lots of strips. Add some plain fabric and some clever stitch and flip. The resulting design makes great secondary patterns when stitched together.

Janet has used two colours in her sample, red and white. However, she has tried with multiple coloured scraps and it works just as well. The good thing about it is that it is a good way of using up fabric that perhaps you don't like so much as you only see small strips of it. This quilt can be as big or small as you wish so if you want something larger, you simply need to adjust the fabric quantities accordingly.

In addition to spending your time crafting there is a coffee shop on site - O For Coffee. Tudor Rose Patchwork offers students 10% discount on anything consumed from O For Coffee. As well as a large selection of hot and cold drinks, the menu includes jacket potatoes, sandwiches, paninis, toasties, soups. For those with a sweet tooth there is also a variety of cakes baked on site including gluten free and vegan options.
