Within this Free On-Line course, I'll be taking you through the same exact steps that I personally use & do within all my quilts.

This is a step that I personally believe everyone should add into the process of their quilt making.

Washing & blocking your quilt once finished, will give even more results & to your quilts.

This is a step that very few people know or understand about, & the results from doing this step is absolutely amazing!

I personally Wash & Block all my quilts whether they're for major exhibiting, teaching in a class or for personal use, as the results from doing this very last step within the creation of the quilt is magnificent

What then is "Washing & Blocking" a quilt, actually?

Washing and Blocking a quilt will make your quilt look even more amazing than it already does, as just one of the end results of this very simple process, your beautiful quilts will be nicely in shape and laying or hanging square & flat!

With saying this, this process will "Not" fix an out of square or shape quilt, as that is a sewing fault in itself, but within this easy blocking process which is actually very simple once you know how, your quilt will hang better, creases will be gone, it'll look magnificent when judges are looking at quilts when judging, it'll hang nice and square, etc, etc. Washing & Blocking your quilt will be like "icing on the cake"

Some frequently asked questions about washing & blocking a quilt.

  • Do I need anything special for Washing & Blocking my quilts?

    For the majority of the "washing & blocking " of your quilt, you really don't need anything too special, as most of the needed things like a bucket, a bath or a laundry trough, etc everyone will have, but there are a couple of items that are a little more specialised, but I clearly show you these items within the on-line course itself. We also use some masking tape, and then possibly some packaging tape.

  • What about the different fabrics within different quilts?

    This is a fantastic question and when I'm at shows or doing talks etc, many people are often quite horrified that I wash my quilts. I've washed my quilts many times over the years and I do talk about the fabrics within the course but personally I always only wash my quilts made out of 100% cotton fabrics. My 100% cotton fabrics are always washed in straight hot water as soon as they come into my house.

  • How long does this process take from start to finish?

    This is a difficult question to answer as each & every quilt is a different size to be working on, every quilt will also be of a different thickness to other quilts. I wash & block all my quilts starting from an A4 size piece right up to my 3 mt square quilts. , which means they will all take a different time to do the blocking and also the drying of my thick trapunto quilts with lots of added applique.

Rose Lewis

Hello, I’m Rose Lewis, & I absolutely love teaching my many different & varied quilting techniques to lovely people just like yourself, all around the world. I love helping students explore & develop their own personal inner talents & passions that have often been hidden within them, often unknown to them. I like to instil an awareness & awaken them into a new way of looking at what they’re creating. I bring with me a huge amount of contiguous enthusiasm, creativeness & inspiration. I first started sewing on my mother’s treadle sewing machine many years ago. I went on to sew my clothes, then my children’s clothes, curtains, hemming & mending. In approx 1984 patchwork came to Australia, so a new journey begun. I’ve sewn many techniques over the years, but I specialise in applique that looks like needleturn but is all sewn on the sewing machine, trapunto, thread painting, fabric painting & other brilliant techniques. I’ve won many awards & ribbons over the years and been up in the running for Best of Australia several times, I’ve taught in-person classes in many parts of Australia, I written for one of the biggest quilting magazines in the UK, having my own regular pages as well as doing some feature articles for quite a while. I’ve also been featured in many quilting & country style magazines & I’ve been interviewed live on ABC country radio several times. I’ve been guest artist & speaker at many quilting shows & events and also written several books….and the list keeps growing. I love teaching & inspiring people just like yourself, with my creativeness, inspiration & enthusiasm. So, come & join me on this journey of learning with me through on-line classes, even if you’re a beginner & you’ll feel like I’m sitting right beside you in your sewing room. Be inspired, Be creative.
