Collect photographs of your favorite flowers to use as inspiration in this machine appliqué class. We’ll simplify floral elements into easily manageable shapes to create a small wall hanging showcasing your favorite flower. Raw-edge and turned appliqué will be covered, along with machine quilting, and finishing techniques. For those who prefer to work from a pattern, our focus will be on the hibiscus, but you are free to choose your own floral subject.

*Skill Level   Confident beginner to intermediate
