Irene Blancks work is such a favorite of mine, her lovely book Focus on Applique is crammed with lovely delicate quilts, beautiful gentle colours and it is a delight to welcome Irene to Cowslip all the way from Australia after her visit to Nante, although we have choosen 2 quilts Irene is happy to be flexible and wants students to get the very most from her visit, so if you would rather do another quilt its fine, the idea is to gather as much information as possible from all her tips and techniques, enjoy looking at her lovely work and perfect your own in your own style. In this workshop students will learn how to:

Prep applique shapes using a lightbox

Gluing all pieces to the background block.

Needleturn techniques including reverse applique, circles.

Correctly use your Clover bias maker for stems.
