How to Make Balloons: Applique/Piecing and Bargello Workshop
From a photo or a sketch . . . to a pattern . . . to fabric!
Ever wonder how people construct those balloons on NMQA's Balloon Quilt? Or make special projects with balloons for family or friends? We have some amazing guild members who are teaching a class on Bargello Piecing and Applique/Piecing (finished turned edge; also known as piece-lique’) and how to piece those small complex designs.
Kathy McLaren, Susan MacKenzie and Ilene Edgein will be teaching a class on these techniques in January. You will learn how to add these tools to your quilting tool box for solving problems. Some of them will be by machine and some by hand, because sometimes you need to do some hand stitching.
You will also have first opportunity at the end of the class to purchase some of the amazing quilt kits that have come in with our recent very generous donation. The kits will be priced individually.
We’re looking forward to seeing you!
