The Art of Cartonnage! Let's Get Started!

Cartonnage is the amazing "art of box making" that is SO fun and relaxing. This is a NO-SEWING required project and you can make amazing fabric boxes, cases and so much more!

If you are not into Quilt making or Embroidery but just love fabric, this is a technique that you must try.    With a few supplies and the guidance of Barb, in no time, you will be creating and enjoying a no-sewing way to create unique pieces for your home or gift giving.   Drop in to the store today to see a couple of projects to see what Cartonnage is.    We are very excited to bring this technique to the store!   It is not your normal quilting project!

To start, you will be creating in your first class the Single Fabric Box.   This simple project sets you up to be successful with future classes and kits.   

We will have the kit in the shop in the next couple weeks.   If you sign-up for the class, we will hold a kit for you at the register.   The fee for this kit is not included in the class fee.

When you come to your class - bring the following:

-  2 fat quarters fabric
-  snips
-  scissors
-  3x12 ruler
-  heavy book to weigh down your project
-  rotary cutter
-  cutting mat - Can be a smaller one - 12x18


Fabrics that you will want to avoid for this project are directional fabrics and fabrics that could bleed.   If you are worried about bleeding, wash and dry your fabric first.   Do not use Kona Fabrics either to get a successful outcome.

When you arrive for your class, please be prepared to park on the east side of the building.   If you are impaired, please know you can park on the front of the building towards the east end.   If you must cancel your class after signup, please call the store and we will refund your fee in the form of a credit to your account.
