QUILLOW

Cost: $65.00

Modern Handmade
5403 Scotts Valley Dr.
Scotts Valley, CA

A Quillow is a quilt folded into itself lengthwise and then tucked into a pocket to become a pillow when not in use as a throw.  The pouch is lined (I like flannel for this to keep your toes toasty).  This is a simple quilt using yardage and we will learn some very simple machine quilting. Don’t say you can’t do machine quilting. I will show you how. Nothing fancy, just some straight lines.  Bring sewing machine and supplies; pin cushion, sharp scissors, #3 safety pins, extra bobbins, neutral thread or to match your fabric. You will need 3 yards of batting (I use 100% cotton) and 3 yards of two different prints in your favorite color(s). If you want a flannel lining, bring ¾ yards of flannel.  Otherwise, the above cotton yardage is enough for a matching pocket.  Or, you may bring a pieced top the size you want (throw) with backing and batting plus ¾ yds of flannel and fabric for pocket and ½ yd fabric for binding.

You can register for this class by calling Modern Handmade at 713-5912 or register online at Modern Handmade.

I use all cotton. A jelly roll of fabric will also work. You will have left over fabric, for sure!
