Stitched Mosaics Quilting Workshop (Saturday, December 13 12-4 pm)

Create photorealistic quilts one square at a time in this one-day workshop. Using a photo provided, students will learn the process of making a fabric mosaic using turned edge machine applique. We will break down the construction process, explore color and value as design elements, and learn how to choose the right fabric for the right location. Students will use their own fabric, so each leaf will be unique! Project finishes at 8”x10”. Best for intermediate level quilters.
