All About Applique

 Date:           Thursday March 15, 2025

Time:           10AM - 2PM
Instructor:    Mary Ellen
Cost:            $45

In this class, Mary Ellen will show you how to applique seven ways, using fusibles, freezer paper, starch, glue, interfacing, and HNK leave-in papers. She will cover how to transfer patterns, prepare the appliques, how to position and then sew them to your background by hand or machine—or even quilt-as-you-go, using traditional or invisible threads.

Using the book “100 Whimsical Applique Designs-Mix and match blocks to Create Playful Quilts” you will choose one block to make in class. She recommends selecting a design that has curves, inner and outer points, circles, stems and layering designs, such as #14 or #15, which are baskets of flowers. Although the sample uses brights for a baby quilt, these blocks would be lovely in traditional fabrics too, made into a pillow, table runner or larger project.
