Taught by Andrea Funk | Hosted at the Too Cool T-shirt Quilt Shop
Get ready to make the coolest, most unique T-shirt quilt you’ve ever seen.
This hands-on, in-person class teaches you how to make an ultra-modern quilt in your choice of styles: Bullseye, Broken Glass, or Arches. Whichever style you choose, Andrea will guide you through every step so you leave with the skills—and the quilt top—to prove it.
By the end of class, you won’t just have a completed quilt top—you’ll have the skills to recreate this for yourself, friends, family, or even as a paid service

Includes:
You literally just need to bring your T-shirts—we’ve got everything else.
Deposit: $750 non-refundable, due at sign-up. Balance due the day class begins.
Check, Credit Card or PayPal.
Once your quilt top is done (late Sunday or Monday), Milie—our long-arm quilting wizard—will teach you how to quilt your quilt on one of our Innova machines. This also includes the backing and batting for your quilt.
This is a very physical class—expect lots of getting up and down from the floor. You have to be able to move.
You should already know how to piece a quilt top. Experience with sewing triangles is helpful but not required.
Bring your own T-shirts. We’ll let you know how many based on your chosen design. Stick to standard cotton T-shirts—it’ll make life easier for your first quilt.
If you run short on T-shirts, we’ll hit some thrift stores in the evening to stock up.
No interfacing needed. We will teach you to work without it.
It might be hot AF in the summer. We don’t have AC. Bring light clothes, and a heat-loving attitude.
Class size is limited to 5 people for maximum individual attention.

There’s a grocery store in town if you want to grab food for the weekend when you arrive.
Want a break from the shop? Downtown Charlotte is about a 7-mile drive and has plenty of spots to grab a meal. Some students pack all their food, others head into town in the evenings. Totally your call.
Coffee? We have a Keurig, but you would need to bring your own K-cups.
Random snacks? Usually. If you’ve got favorites—or you need something to keep you running all day—bring it with you. This is a full-contact quilting weekend, and staying fueled is part of the game plan.
