Appliqué As Adornment

Thursday, July 16: 6:00 - 9:00 PM

Applique, meaning ‘applied’ in French is a method of attaching fabric onto another layer of fabric without exposing the raw edges. Most commonly used in quilting for added embellishment, applique is a technique that can add extra detail. In this workshop, Shug will go over hand stitching methods for flip turn applique. Together, we will discuss ways that adorning our quilts or clothing can imbue meaning into everyday objects.
