Tessellated Heart Bag Zoom Workshop with Crafty Monkies
We believe Matt Wilding is one of the brightest lights in quilting at the moment! His mind works in a really interesting way, he creates wonderful 3-D quilted pieces that are not only beautiful to look at, but are also practical, as is the case with this truly marvellous Tessellated Heart Bag. This bag created such a buzz at the 2025 Festival Of Quilts as Matt walked around wearing it. So many people asked him which stall he'd bought it from and he was able to say those wonderful words: "I made it myself!" We knew it had to become an online class and we were so happy when Matt agreed. Although this is Matt's first class with CraftyMonkies, believe us, it won't be his last, as he has so many exciting ideas to bring you. Plus he has given us the exclusive WORLD Launch of the Pattern!
