Introduction to Quilting with Catherine Wynne
Classes will be on Thursdays, May 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31 and will be from 9AM – 1PM.
SKEA (Society for Kona’s Education and Art) is pleased to announce an Introduction to Patchwork Quilting Workshop with award winning quilter, Catherine Wynne. Students will learn to use their sewing machines and rotary cutters to create beautiful one-of-a-kind lap quilts. This is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to create their first quilt in a friendly and helpful environment with one of the island’s best teachers.
Catherine Wynne has been quilting for about 15 years. She started by making traditional Hawaiian quilts, and soon became interested in all aspects of quilt making, including appliqué, traditional pieced and art quilts. She maintains her own business creating custom-made bed quilts, and has been teaching quilting for the past several years, both in Hawaii and on the mainland.
Catherine grew up in Southern California, where she was a member of Orange Grove Quilt Guild. She has had a home on the Big Island since 1990, and is a member of both Aloha Quilters of Kona, and Ka Lae Quilters.
