Description
In this class we cover all the basics of needle turn applique and go a bit further. This class is open to beginners and experienced appliquers as well. Maybe you want to try applique for the first time or just want to improve your skills. We will be working on the wreath block in this class but the pattern for the entire quilt will be provided. You will be confident enough in your skills to finish the quilt after the class. We will learn to layout complex blocks, make bias stems, curves points and valleys as well as how to finish with a scalloped border.
