Summertime Sampler Applique -November BOM
A Wool Appliqué Class with Susan Baxter
Create a whimsical wool appliqué quilt, one beautiful block at a time, bursting with rich jewel tones and charming seasonal motifs! Summertime Sampler by Erica Kaprow is a delightful project that combines colorful design with the relaxing art of hand stitching.
Perfect for quilters of all skill levels, this class will introduce students to the techniques of working with felted wool, from preparing appliqué pieces using freezer paper to selecting embroidery floss colors that beautifully complement each design. If you've been curious about wool appliqué, you'll discover that it's both forgiving and enjoyable—making it a wonderful alternative to needle-turn appliqué.
Whether you're new to hand stitching or already love embroidery, Susan Baxter will guide you through each step in a friendly, supportive environment. By the end of class, you'll have the skills and confidence to continue stitching your sampler into a beautiful wall hanging you'll treasure for years to come.
