The Beaufort Quilt On Demand Course includes step-by-step video and written instructions, helping you discover and practise a range of techniques such as hand-piecing/EPP, appliqué and FPP.
- Are you looking for a fun new project to make?
- Do you love trying out and combining different techniques but like to have videos to follow too?
- Do you like to add your own spin to a pattern?
- Have you always wanted to try hand-sewing a quilt, but worried about if you are able to, and whether or not you would finish it?!
- Do you like having written instructions and videos to help you learn new skills?
"I joined the BOM as a very new convert to quilting. The instructions and templates were easy to follow and videos of unknown techniques helped me gain new skills that I previously thought were far too advanced for me.
Thank you Sonia, it's been a joy to take part in your BOM."
Linda, Beaufort Quilt BOM
Quilt Details
Inspired by an English Garden, the Beaufort Quilt was originally run as a Block of the Month during 2022.
This beautiful quilt gives you the chance to practise/learn lots of different skills and is perfectly suited for hand-piecing or EPP and includes step-by-step instructions for how to start your hand-piecing journey if this is a new technique for you.
Techniques included: curves, applique, machine/ hand-piecing, accurate piecing and FPP
Blocks: sixteen (16) different designs and I also include some variations so that you can add your own spin!
Format: step-by-step written instructions and over 2 hours of video tutorials.
The Beaufort Quilt is designed to utilise scraps, so it can be hard to give exact fabric requirements for making the blocks.
However, I have included a rough estimate;
(Please note, if you choose to fussy cut/use directional fabric, you are likely to need more fabric).
To Make the Blocks: minimum size of 1 1/2" square to a maximum size of 6 1/2" x 11 - a mix of fabrics.
Fat Eighths and Fat Quarters will be a great starting point.
What's Included?
Full size templates included.
Learn
Cover a number of skills including (but not limited to) machine sewing, FPP, hand-piecing, curves and applique.

Hi! I'm Sonia!
I've been stitching for over 10 years and featured in popular quilting magazines as well as teaching virtual and real-life workshops.
I love hand- and machine-piecing equally, designing quilts that are just a little bit different and combine a variety of skills, as well as mixing modern and traditional styles.
I always have at least one hand-piecing project on the go as it is the ultimate mindful activity!
My favourite thing is to encourage people to take up stitching, try new things and make a project their own by providing them with different options.

Testimonials
"I have loved every minute of it and look forward to the monthly release. The instructions are clear and concise. It has been a delight to be a part of this group. This has been brilliant, Thanks 😊"
"I have enjoyed this BOM.....I found the instructions easy to follow, I particularly liked the choices given for each round so that the final quilt became your own individual creation rather than like many others. Sonia also responds very quickly to any comments or queries and seems very approachable"
The Mindful QAL was my perfect refuge in this difficult year. It gave me the opportunity to learn, to create, and feel a part of a quilting community, each month waiting for the new block instructions. I have loved watching my quilt grow, knowing there is not another like it in the world.

Skill wise, we will be practising accuracy, machine piecing, FPP, hand-piecing, curves and appliqué. Instructions will be included for appliquéby hand or by machine, depending on your preference.
I'm a new quilter, will I be able to do this?
This quilt has been designed with hand-piecing in mind, but can easily be done by machine too. I will be hand-piecing the majority of the blocks and machine piecing the sashing.
Every quilter was new at some point, and my favourite way of learning is by jumping in at the deep end and just giving it a go!
However, I am also a big fan of detail and will be including step-by-step written instructions along with video's for each months blocks/borders. If you have any questions, please do get in touch.
