Instructor: Mary Derry

The Cathedral Window is a very traditional folded technique that has been brought up to date in Lynne Edwards’ lovely new book Cathedral Window Quilts. New variations and new ideas for using the blocks in home-dec projects, bags, garments, wall hangings, and quilts make this classic technique one you will want to learn. Our sample is an elegant cushion but what you choose to make with your windows is up to you. Mary will show you how to use both hand and machine sewing to make block construction fast and easy.
