    In this 3-hour workshop for the beginning quilter, participants will be introduced to Prepared Edge and Raw Edge appliqué.  Choose the technique that suits you and one of the projects, pictured below.

    Prepared Edge appliqué has turned edges using starch or glue and is finished by hand or machine. Raw Edge appliqué uses fusible web and is finished by machine.

    Master Curved Piecing with  the "Many Moons" Quilt Pattern:


    Jennifer Wagner of Snapdragon Quilting presents:

    Have you been wanting to add curves to your quilts but aren’t sure where to start? Then this is the class for you! You’ll learn and experiment with 3 different techniques for curved piecing using the "Many Moons" quilt pattern. This pattern uses large curves because they’re easier to learn on. Bonus: We will also discuss how the use of contrast, color, and fabric change the look of the quilt. It looks modern made in Kona Solids but see it with big prints in the circles and it’s a whole new quilt. Participants can make "Many Moons" or "Broken Moons" as these patterns use the same techniques.

    Suitable for adventurous beginners and beyond.
