306S Walk the Talk Sunday 7th July
Dewald Compion 
Session: 2 x 3hr
Level: Beginner
 
Dewald likes everything quilting. He loves beautiful fabric, designing quilts, piecing quilts, quilting 
quilts, writing patterns and, most of all, connecting with other quilters. He finds inspiration for quilts 
everywhere and recently started using nature to print his own fabric.
As a medical doctor, he treats patients every day. But when he goes home, quilting is his therapy 
and his happy place.
 
DETAILED COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Always wanted to quilt your own quilts, but never had the courage? Or do you struggle to find 
inspiration or designs? Still saving for your own long arm quilting machine or tired of paying to have 
your quilts quilted? Then let Dewald introduce you to Melissa Marginet, a Canadian quilter and 
expert on walking foot quilting. Dewald will teach you how to quilt one of her designs using the 
walking foot on your own sewing machine and teach you some of the tricks he uses. No previous
walking foot quilting experience required.
In this workshop we will explore the basics of walking foot quilting by using Melissa’s easy-to-follow 
instructions to complete a charming mini quilt measuring 16” x 16” which you can use as a wall 
hanging or pillow cover.
You will need to prepare a simple mini quilt top prior to the class, for which all instructions will be 
sent out timeously.
Join Dewald for a fun day of walking foot quilting and leave with a stunning mini quilt and loads of 
confidence to tackle your next quilting project at home.
