There’s something deeply satisfying about turning a simple piece of border fabric into a quilt block that stops people in their tracks.
In this vibrant, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to do just that – using the fascinating kaleidoscope technique and a 45-degree triangle ruler.
Whether you’re brand new to quilting or already confident behind your machine, this 2-day workshop is designed to help you explore, create, and complete something beautiful – step by step, with all the support you need.
If you’ve always been drawn to the colours and textures of quilting but have never quite known where to begin, you’re warmly invited to join us. Border Kaleidoscope is designed for all skill levels – including those who’ve never quilted before.
With clear, friendly guidance and hands-on support, you’ll be gently introduced to tools like the 45-degree ruler, and you’ll learn how to create striking blocks from border fabric at your own pace. Whether you’re just curious or ready to take your very first stitches, this workshop offers a relaxed, creative space to explore and enjoy.






Day 1 (Thursday, 19 June)
9:00am – 3:00pm
We’ll start with the basics – how kaleidoscope quilts work, how to place your ruler on a border print, and how to cut and stitch your first blocks. The process will be explained in clear, beginner-friendly steps, and we’ll also prep you for what comes next.
Day 2 (Friday, 20 June)
9:00am – 3:00pm
With your pieces ready, it’s time to play with creative stitches, layout options, and finishing techniques. You’ll add dimension with layers like organza, and experiment with embroidery thread in multiple colours to bring your design to life.
Day 3 (Saturday – 21 June – Optional Extra Session)
9:00am – 1:00pm
Need more time to finish or finesse your work? Saturday is an open invitation to continue at your own pace with help close at hand.
No need to hunt for materials – we’ve got a curated selection in-store and you’re welcome to come in before the workshop to pick what speaks to you. Plus, you’ll enjoy a 10% discount on all quilting fabric!
