| Details | In this hands-on quilting workshop, participants will learn two common appliqué techniques — finished edge and raw edge — both of which involve sewing one fabric on top of another to create decorative designs. You’ll explore how to plan an appliqué layout, stabilize fabric, and use top-stitching techniques to secure your pieces, along with helpful tips and tricks for clean results. Sample patterns will be available to choose from, and participants will also work with Dresden pieces, a traditional appliqué design. By the end of class, each participant will have completed one or two appliquéd quilt blocks and built confidence using these techniques. What to Expect This standalone skill class meets on Sunday, March 1, from 1 – 4pm. Gayle, our instructor, will guide you through each step of traditional applique design using demonstrations, guided instruction, and hands-on practice. Fabrics will be available to use, or you can bring your own quilting cotton. For those who want extra time to continue working on their project, ask questions, or quilt alongside others, we will also offer a separate Quilt-Along session later in the month. This optional follow-up meets on Sunday, March 15, 1 – 4pm, and is ticketed separately at $10 ($8 for members).
