Saturday, December 10 | 1 – 5 PM | $65
Featuring: Leah Weinstien
Join textile artist Leah Weinstein in this hands-on workshop exploring machine appliqué methods for contemporary, free-style quilt-making. These practical and creative sewing skills can also be applied to other projects, including clothing. Topics include: basic quilting tools and materials, creating your own design, and basic appliqué methods including basting, cutting, ironing, and sewing. Each participant will design and create a 20″ x 20″ quilt top, which can later be quilted and made into a cushion cover (the “Quilted Cushion Workshop” will follow on December 11th.) Bring your own sewing machine. Materials provided. Beginners welcome!
