SUMMARY:Basic Appliqué: Dresden Quilt Blocking
DESCRIPTION:In this hands-on quilting workshop, participants will lear
 n two common appliqué techniques—finished edge and raw edge—both 
 of which involve sewing one fabric on top of another to create decorat
 ive designs. You’ll explore how to plan an appliqué layout, stabili
 ze fabric, and use top-stitching techniques to secure your pieces, alo
 ng with helpful tips and tricks for clean results. Sample patterns wil
 l be available to choose from, and participants will also work with Dr
 esden pieces, a traditional appliqué design. By the end of class, eac
 h participant will have completed one or two appliquéd quilt blocks a
 nd built confidence using these techniques.
