"LET YOUR GARDEN GROW" Applique Workshop WITH Robyn Falloon $65
Loosen up with this relaxing and productive class with Robyn as she steers you through the process of creating yourown applique designs on interesting backgrounds. It is really very easy with a few tips and perhaps the help ofRobyn's Bon Bon Applique Templates!The idea of this workshop is to play, cut out shapes and glue paste the pieces in a creative and unique arrangement, ready to take home and applique. The piece can then be worked into a small or large project which can be extendedwith the addition of further blocks and borders. It is wonderfully liberating to free yourself from paper patterns. Please note: the focus of this class is on design rather than applique technique. Therefore it is advisable that participants have some competency with applique.
