Become part of the first online repurposing quilting college
Quilting for 15 minutes a day brings a lot of peace and joy
Turn waste into value
Quilting has an important place in a sustainable future
It has the ability to transform waste into value and beautiful objects for everyday use. Since, fabric is one of the most polluting industries, more efficient use of the existing fabrics is vital.
In the Kick Ass Quilts College, I teach you how to quilt with second-hand fabrics and old clothes. I do that with monthly full courses, challenges and project ideas to turn your old cloth into useful objects.
Kick Ass Quilts is the first global community for Sustainable Quilters.
Quilt College guides to unleash your creativity and find a useful and meaningful outlet for your creative energy, With project ideas and challenges I teach how to turn old clothes into beautiful quilts,
I share my 10 years experience in thrifty quilting, and together we'll learn to be more sustainable day by day. Kick Ass Quilts college is all about connection, inspiration, and learning.
I didn't need to buy any specialist equipment and emphasis was on enjoying making something, rather than making something perfect
The written instructions were very clear to follow. The videos added that extra visual help that gave me confidence to finish the project.
