Fri. June 16, 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Level: All levels
Class Type: Hands-on
Category: Handwork (Appliqué)
Machine(s): Not required

Whether making just a pillow top or an entire quilt, Loopy Tulips is a fun project to introduce you to the joys of handwork. We will focus on the basic aspects of applique: stems, inside and outside points, and gentle curves using the freezer-paper-on-the-bottom method of applique. We will also explore color placement as a way to add a secondary level of design.
