Heart - Calendar Quilts
Class
Stitch with Heart
Taught by Nancy Schottler
🌵 Confident Beginner
Add a little love to your walls with the Heart project in our Calendar Quilts series—a cheerful machine appliqué wall hanging designed to celebrate the season while building practical, confidence-boosting skills.
In this class, you’ll create a beautifully shaped heart using approachable machine appliqué techniques that focus on smooth curves, clean stitching, and thoughtful fabric placement. We’ll walk through preparation, positioning, and stitching so your appliqué lies flat, looks polished, and feels achievable—whether machine appliqué is new to you or you’re ready to refine your technique.
This Heart project is designed specifically as a decorative wall hanging, making it perfect for seasonal display on its own. It also coordinates with the rest of the Calendar Quilts series, a month-by-month collection of charming appliqué wall hangings you can enjoy all year long.
