Beginners Appliqué

I just love appliqué and there is nothing like a little appliqué wallhanging, there will be several different versions, but you will learn simple appliqué techniques including template free hand appliqué, I will also demonstrate bonded appliqué, you could just take one shape and make some appliqué napkins and table runner or cloth or make a little picture story quilt.
