Live online workshop
Fibres, fabrics and filaments
Scheduled for Tuesday 1st October 2024
An online workshop packed with information to increase your understanding of fabric and threads.
We are lucky to live in a world of seemingly endless choices, not least in the range of fabrics and threads available to us as quilt-makers and garment creators. In this live online workshop Philippa shares the knowledge she has gained in an amazing 5 decades of stitch, to help you understand more about man-made and natural fibres and fabrics.
After viewing the workshop you will understand the characteristics of the main types of thread - including when and why you might choose them. You will also have a better understanding of different types of fabrics so that you can make more informed fabric choices for your quilts and garments.
Our aim is to see you achieve greater sewing success and increased enjoyment in developing all your textile projects.
How do I watch the classes?
The Fibres, Fabrics and Filaments class is a live online workshop to be broadcast on 1st October 2024 at 7pm UK time (2pm EST, 11am PST).
The workshop can be watched online in your QQT library and a recording will be available straight away for those who are unable to watch live.
As with all QQT classes, once bought you can watch as often as you want, whenever you want. There is no time limit and you can come back and enjoy the classes again and again for as long as you wish.
If you like the workshop you have the option to sign up for further classes.
Members are eligible to join our exclusive and very active Facebook group. Here you'll find lots of questions, answers, pictures of members work and much much more.
Every month we host a live Q&A session where members get to tap into Philippa's expertise and ask for advice and help with their projects.
We hope to meet you online soon!
Who is Philippa Naylor?
Philippa is an award winning quilter and quilting teacher based in Yorkshire, England. She has applied her extensive knowledge of couture dress making and design to her quilting.
Before she discovered quilting, Philippa trained as a clothing designer and worked as a lingerie designer for 5 years. She then moved into designing and making bespoke ball gowns and wedding dresses.
Her quilt 'Lime Light' won ‘Best Of Show’ at the American Quilter’s Society Show, Paducah, Kentucky, USA in 2003. As you can see below the National Quilt Museum chose to show a reproduction of Philippa's quilt on the wall outside the museum.
Philippa's miniature quilt 'Measure for Measure' (pictured below) won 'Best Of Show' at the Festival Of Quilts Birmingham, England in 2017.
Philippa has had many other category winning awards at major shows.
Its not easy to get on a course with Philippa because her classes always fill up really quickly. People comment on her generosity in sharing all that she knows about each subject, but she also has a great sense of fun and a Yorkshire no-nonsense attitude which makes her classes lively and entertaining as well.
If you follow Philippa on instagram, you will get a flavour of the wide range of activities about which Philippa is also passionate, including her garden and her ducks and geese - which also feature in her quilt designs.
