Foundation Paper Piecing
with Jen Kingwell
Join Jen Kingwell for a hands-on foundation paper piecing workshop where you get to choose the project that inspires you! Whether you’re drawn to a whimsical quilt block or a charming design from her Gathered book, Jen will guide you through the process step by step.
Learn essential FPP techniques, including accurate fabric placement, precise seam allowances, and piecing tricky shapes with confidence. Jen will provide tips for planning your color combinations and achieving her signature scrappy, playful style.
This class is suitable for all skill levels — whether you’re new to foundation paper piecing or looking to refine your technique. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a completed block or a strong start on your chosen project, plus skills and inspiration to continue creating at home.
Meet the instructor!
Midwife by trade who turned her stitching addiction into a career. Jen is a scrap quilter and the more fabrics she can include in any one project, the happier she is.
She describes herself as "traditional with a contemporary twist" and in her perfect world would hand stitch everything. She loves sharing the serenity of this age old tradition. Author, fabric designer and quilt designer, Jen now travels the world teaching and lecturing and loves returning to her family and store - Amitie Textiles in Torquay, Australia.
