New York Beauty Foundation Piecing Class
The New York Beauty block is a patchwork classic — bold sweeping curves and spiked arcs that look complex but become manageable with the right technique. This afternoon workshop at Patchwork Dreamer in Bodmin walks you through foundation piecing on Stitch & Tear, a stabilising material that keeps fabric steady and points sharp throughout. During the session you'll work through each stage step by step: positioning fabric, sewing for accurate alignment, and removing the foundation once your block is complete. You'll leave with one or two finished blocks and the confidence to carry on at home. From there, the blocks can become a table runner, a cushion cover, or the start of a full quilt — the choice is yours. Suitable for quilters who want to tackle curved piecing for the first time or sharpen an existing skill.
