| Description: Traditionally, quilters struggle with their fabric choices when making a quilt – sometimes all the way through to adding the binding! Build your self-confidence in choosing fabric for your quilts in this fun and informative workshop. Annie will help you to look at fabrics a different way. The key to fabric selection will be thoroughly discussed with a trunk show of quilts, hands-on demonstration using fabric swatches, and helpful tools. The first day, students will make a series of paste-up blocks using fabrics from their own stash to make a useful resource book. The second day, students will reinforce their new fabric selection skills to work by choosing fabrics to construct a quilt top. |

Learn how to multi-size and quick-piece the center stars, then add a beautiful flower garden using Annie’s raw-edge machine applique technique. The fabrics pop on solid black, or use a different color that suits your taste and décor. Ideas for machine quilting will be discussed with guest quilter, Melodee Wade, who quilted the sample. |
