Hawaiian Inspired Appliqué workshop with Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill of Whole Circle Studio
Learn how to make the Big Island Blossom, a beginner-friendly needle-turn applique project designed by Sheri. This quilt is a modern interpretation of traditional Hawaiian quilts which Sheri admired while on vacation. Students will learn how to prepare the applique (including folding, cutting and basting) and how to apply the motif using needle-turn applique techniques. Class includes best practices, step-by-step instructions and quilting tips. Sewing machines are not required for this workshop. This is a fun, relaxing slow-stitching workshop.
