This class is offered in conjunction with our new bock of the month program, Tinsel. This is a beginner friendly project and a great introduction to Sue Spargo. And for our Sue enthusiasts, a chance for you to pick up some new tips and get help with some of the stitches used in these blocks.
Classes will cover layering and adding dimensional texture to your background, prepping and applying your appliqué pieces and of course, embellishing your blocks with stitches to bring them to life.
This class will run over three days
January 20 - 10:30 to 4:30 – prepping background and appliqué blocks
April 20 - 10:30 to 1:30 – embellishment stitches
May 11 - 10:30 to 1:30 – embellishment stitches
