404 North Havana StreetAre you afraid of the ‘A’ word? Do you have kits or a pattern you have been wanting to make but it is the dreaded Applique and looks too difficult? If so, this class is for you.
Cheryl Clossin will teach you the techniques, tips and tools that will take you from start to finish for your class project. She will briefly discuss various applique methods that you can use for your projects, however, this class will focus on traditional needle turn applique using some new tools and tricks which will make appliquéing stems, including a teeny stem, a perfect circle, a stunning leaf and beautiful flower easy.
You will learn to handle points, curves, and ‘v’s and with practice will master these basic applique skills to give you the confidence to start your next applique project.
Please note that this is a beginner to intermediate class and basic sewing or quilting skills are required.
About Cheryl:
Cheryl started quilting in 1998 when she wandered into the Quilting Bee to buy fabric to make kitchen café curtains and saw a fusible applique block of the month being taught by Manda Benton. She had never made a quilt block and never appliqued but her love of applique was firmly cemented after that class.
She has been a member of Washington State Quilters since approximately 1999. Her passion is needle turn applique, wool applique and art quilts.
As a teenager, Cheryl would embroider her shirts and other items (it was the 70’s after all), and this love of adding embellishments and embroidery to her quilts was an easy next step to adding texture and interest to her applique quilts.
Cheryl also loves wool applique and even adds embellishments to primitive wool applique to add texture to her wool applique projects.
After paying to have her first quilts quilted, she took a few classes on machine quilting on a domestic machine and now machine quilts all her projects so she can create detailed and intricate quilting designs with thread. She currently quilts on a Bernina Q20 which is non-moveable (she moves the quilt not the machine).
