Using the needle-turn applique technique, students will create a tree and learn how to add skinny branches to the tree trunk.

Add in some Broderie Perse [motifs cut from fabric] to help design flowers, birds, leaves, and more, and watch the creativity take on a life of its own. Each student will find that they are limited only by their own imagination.

For the kit fee of $50, Dena will provide for each student absolutely everything they need, except for scissors and a pencil to make a 21 x 24 inch block. Just show up, learn, and be inspired to create.

In the workshop, she will focus on cutting and aligning using the template, and on what to do and what not to do. She will show you the best practices and tips to make reverse appliqué easy. She will demonstrate various techniques, including sashings, border treatments, and binding alternatives, using her reverse appliqué method.

This is a technique workshop with the possibility of many different projects, as you will see.
