Sewflakes
Create beautiful sewflakes in a wide range of designs and technique styles! Just like a traditional paper snowflake, you will be folding paper and cutting out shapes, but with sewflakes you move beyond simple paper and elevate your artistry with quilted papercut appliqué blocks. Using 6 different appliqué sewing options, each sewflake features intricate designs - in medallions, blocks, or borders in a variety of snowflake shapes. Design original patterns in just a few steps: cut out a paper snowflake, turn it into a pattern, and then transfer to fabric. Vary the number of folds, play with symmetry, and try positive and negative images for a variety of looks - Kathy shares all the "angles"!

Birth Flower Appliqué
Every month of the year has a flower to symbolize the birth date, commonly known as a birth flower. Inspired by Kathy’s award-winning quilt “For Such a Time as This”, each birth flower has been incorporated into a delightful wreath design in a block-of-the-month series of patterns. Needle-turn, Apliquick and fusible appliqué methods will be presented in class, along with hand and machine stitching techniques. Make a special block to commemorate your birth month or complete the whole set to make a stunning quilt or a perpetual calendar.
6-hour class, suggested schedule:
Session #1 - 3 hours: Choosing & Preparing Fabrics
Session #2 - 3 hours: Sewing and Finishing Up
Mastering Apliquick
Master the Apliquick method for turned-edge appliqué. The innovative Apliquick tools provide unprecedented ease and precision for preparing fabric for hand or machine stitching – even miniature-sized. Kathy has taught many appliqué techniques over the years but when Apliquick came to North America in 2013, it was a game changer. Suddenly, turned-edge appliqué was accessible and achievable. Apliquick is a technique that is easy to learn and quick to master. You will get good results right away and with a little practice, you will be able to turn pretty well anything! If you have always wanted to learn turned-edge appliqué – or struggled with it in the past – this class is for you.
6-hour class, suggested schedule:
