2 Day Workshop

Sat, 29th January, 2022 to Sun, 30th January, 2022

10:00am - 4:00pm

Join Jo for 2 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, I have several basket designs and one I am 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 my 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.
