Do you love the look of appliqué but don't enjoy needle turn or machine appliqué? Try this technique for a beautiful wall hanging (36" x 36"). Fusible appliqué is so much fun - fuse the pieces, border with scrappy log cabin blocks and send the top to your quilter; the stitching of the petals and leaves is completed during the quilting process. Of course, if you enjoy thread painting, that can also be done. Kits available but optional. Pattern required ($12)
Quilt
Cajun Crossing is a simple and quick pattern that can be completed using strip piecing techniques. Put in on point or straight set - the choice is yours. We will discuss both processes. Pattern required ($10)
Thread Painting

The student will learn how to embellish appliqué with thread painting. Using fusible appliqué as a foundation, we will paint with thread to enhance the project, creating depth and dimension to the appliqué. The first half of the class will be devoted to practicing free-motion techniques on three projects. Next, each student will thread paint a simple piece designed by the student using appliqué shapes provided by the teacher. A required supply fee of $15.00 per student covers the cost of 3 fabric kits which includes fusible web, 2 stabilizers and the use of various decorative threads.
