Baltimore in progress
This was the Spring programme for reference.


New dates for July:
July brings a break in the usual timetable at morceau:
We are running three open days during the month—open to any attendees, regardless of their original group or class.
These days are available to all— new students, holiday visitors, or anyone who is simply desperate for a day or two’s sewing!
 
There is one summer special during the month, an opportunity to have two consecutive days creating either a patchwork teddy or a morceau goose from sumptuous fabrics—well ahead of time for Christmas. Both of these items are on display in morceau.
 
July 9th and 23rd: Open Days for all, £16 per day.
9.30. to 2.30.

 
July 19th and 20th: Summer Special.
£28 per day to include delicious lunch and wine.
9.30  to 3.30
Complete either a teddy or a goose over the 2 days.
On display at morceau.

Open Saturday: July 24th
9.30. to 2.30.

Friday Beginner’s Baltimore: March 19, April 16, May 7,21, June 11.
- Our most well-known class, and a super opportunity for beginners to start with a top-rank project!
- This is the pinnacle of appliqué, and for committed, dedicated enthusiasts.
- Baltimore classes began in 1995 and run every alternate Friday. A gentle introduction to Baltimore Appliqué is possible - building confidence gradually.
- We guarantee beginners will complete an exquisite and classic Baltimore Quilt within a few terms.
- To beginners, your first class can be a taster day where techniques can be tried to see if the commitment and enjoyment of a whole Baltimore project is for you!
- The morceau Baltimores follow the complex style of Elly Sienkiewicz who is famous for the beauty and detail of her work.


Occasional Saturdays for Adults: March 27, April 17, May 15, June 12.
- Those with midweek commitments can more easily take advantage of the morceau programme on these days—have a well-earned day at morceau.
- One "Open" day for all experience levels, if patchwork is new to you, get a rolling start on these days. Pick up dressmaking again, and make clothes that FIT!
- Finish off those delayed projects, or start within a brand new field of patchwork and needlework. The day will be tailored to individual need, with topics galore if you would like us to suggest the direction.
