Combining Anna Maria's interest in composing vignettes and handwork, she presents a class that covers all of the techniques necessary to create a visual feast of fabric and stitching. Multiple techniques for applique, raw and turned, by machine and by hand, are shared on top of a lesson in composition. Learn to see fabrics in a completely different way as you hunt for special elements to join as starring roles or the supporting cast in your applique story. Projects can be framed as artwork, become a special cushion or the beginning of a larger quilt.
