Hi Indigofab,

The City & Guilds Certificate is an examination that we can take over here in the UK. The category of Patchwork and Quilting has three levels in the category, Level 1, Level 2 and the highest which is Level 3. I have just completed Level 3 certificate - they also do a Diploma course in this subject which is higher than the Certificate. Categories themselves are usually practical and or vocational. With a level 3 it would probably be acceptable to teach an adult class in a patchwork and quilting methods - and could help you progress into teaching children. The City & Guilds institute of London runs courses in 81 countries around the world. So it is a well recognised qualification. There are over 500 categories to chose from.

I hope this gives you a bit of an insight into the course.

I just did the course for myself..... Don't think I will use it in any way.

Hugs and thanks for asking.

Caroline

Question - what exactly are the C&G's? Is to become certified (for judging, perhaps), or for university credit?

That is just gorgeous, my sister would love it, where did you get your pattern for the Dragonfly please.

Gorgeous!!

Hi Heather,

I created the pattern and the templates for the whole quilt including the dragonfly..... as it is a C&G final piece the quilt has to be your own original design.

Hugs

Great quilt and that pieced border is to die for! Love it but what makes it so special is your selection of fabrics you used in it.

Thanks for the explanation. Congratulations on completing all 3 levels.
Here in the US we also have a strict requirement for teaching in shops....it's called a pulse. ;-)

Hi Feline Fanatic,

The fabrics were dyed by me.... another thing we learnt on the course....!
