Savor each stitch! Slow down and enjoy learning hand applique with this beautiful and versatile design. We’ll learn a few different techniques for making hand appliqued squircles and explore how color, scale, and texture impact your project. This class is based on the book, Savor Each Stitch: Studio Quilting with Mindful Design by Carolyn Friedlander. You can choose to work toward a table runner, wall hanging, or larger quilt.

Prerequisites: This class is beginner friendly! No prior sewing experience is necessary.
