🧵 Jelly Roll Rug or Placemat Workshop

Date: Wednesday, October 22, 2025
Time: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Teacher: Sharla M.
Location: Maple Leaf Quilting Company, 141 River Avenue, Cochrane, AB
Price: $65
Skill Level: Confident Beginner / Intermediate (must be comfortable operating your sewing machine)

Turn a jelly roll into something cozy, functional, and beautiful! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to transform pre-cut fabric strips and batting into a jelly roll rug, placemat, or table runner. Using simple machine stitches (straight and zig-zag), Sharla will guide you through folding, stitching, and shaping your strips into a durable piece that’s as fun to make as it is to use.

You’ll start small in class by creating a placemat, learning how to manage curves and build your project smoothly. From there, you’ll have the skills, tips, and confidence to tackle a larger rug at home — or stick with smaller makes like placemats or runners if that’s more your style.

✨ What’s Included:

• Jelly roll batting

• Step-by-step instruction in a supportive class environment

• 10% off coupon for class supplies (valid in-store & online)

🧰 What to Bring:
(Fabric and supplies must be purchased ahead of time; detailed list provided upon registration.)

• Jelly roll

• Sewing machine in good working order (with foot pedal & power cord)

• Zig-zag foot + extension table (if you have one)

• Coordinating thread for your fabric

• Scissors/snips

• Optional: Clover Jelly Roll Tool, Jelly Roll Rug Pattern

👉 All materials are available at Maple Leaf Quilting Company, and your 10% discount applies to all class supplies.

⚡ Important: This class requires that you are comfortable using your sewing machine, including basic troubleshooting.

📏VERY Limited spots available — extra space is needed for this project! While you may not finish a full rug during class, you’ll leave with the know-how (and confidence!) to finish it at home — and start making them as gifts for everyone you love.
