Join Jo for 1, 2 or 3 days of nothing but appliqué! Learn her perfect method of needle turn appliqué. There are lots of lovely projects to choose from.  If you want to start a new project, there are several basket designs and one she is working on that has a pieced washed and worn background, then large flowers, it looks antique and has been on the back burner – now it’s full steam ahead! Both Jo's daisy quilts are an option or the antique bouquet or a new rose basket which is at the drawing stage, or an appliqué horse quilt with multi coloured horses, so plenty of choice!
