Our most talked about camp of the summer, QUILT CAMP! 

In this 5-day camp, students learn the basics of quilting by creating their very own quilt! Finished quilt size is appx 42" x 54".

Students will learn: 

• how to piece blocks to create a quilt top


• how to baste and create a quilt sandwich


• how to machine and/or hand quilt


• how to finish their quilt with cheat or traditional binding

Ages 10+. Students must have the ability to focus during class-time EVERY day in order to complete their quilt by the conclusion of camp. 

Materials: All materials are included. Students will choose from a variety of colors and prints when designing their quilt.

On the final day of camp we celebrate our hard work and show off our quilted creations at the bridge in downtown Waxhaw. We will take groups pics and celebrate with a scoop of ice cream from The Waxhaw Creamery!

Sewing Experience: Our camps are structured to inspire the beginner and experienced sewist.  We divide each camp into groups based on their age and sewing experience.  The number of projects completed is based on their sewing ability and time management (ability to focus).

NEW CAMPERS: New students are required to attend the 1-Day Sewing Machine 101 camp. This camp is held on Mondays throughout the summer and will prepare students for any summer camp session at Thimble Bee's Sewing School!

Drop-Off: All camps are a student "drop-off" activity.

Cost: $450 + $50 material fee (all fabrics, thread, and batting for quilt)

Deposit: A non-refundable deposit of $75 is required to reserve a seat in camp. Balances can be paid in full or setup on a payment plan at checkout.

Refund Policy: We are reserving this space and time for your child. Our camps can accommodate a limited number of students; as a result, we often have a waiting list of students that would love the opportunity to participate. Since the majority of our camps include supplies we begin preparing for summer camp months in advance. Purchasing and preparing all materials in advance allows us to maximize camp time and ensure that kids are completing as many projects as possible. Because of this, we have a strict no-refund policy for cancellations or no-shows. We will handle special circumstances (unforeseen illness, family emergency, etc)  on a case by case basis. If we are able to fill your child's seat we will issue a credit to be used for an alternate camp.

Makeup classes are not available for missed camp sessions.
