Fishy Tales or Fancy Feathers

Let’s swim with some fun little fish or make a beautifully colorful feathered friend! In class we will learn perfect machine appliqué techniques using unique threads. We will be working on one fish or one bird in class as time allows. Have fun using bright fun Kaffe, Tula or other fabrics, black and white for a different border around each fish or go bright and colorful around your bird, with some 3-D embellishments of Yo-Yo’s. Learn lots of techniques from Susan during this really fun class.

•          Note: We will only be doing one fish or one bird in class. So, you do not need all these fabrics for class, but you will need them to finish the quilt top.
