Description

Kim has been a large presence in Western New York in the past couple of years and we're proud to be having her back again. She has some great new workshops, a brand new line of fabric coming in June and a new book coming out in October - Simple Graces. If you haven't taken a class from her before, you will love it. She's very laid back, but you walk away from the day with a wealth of knowledge - plus it's just a plain, fun day!! Scrap Basket Blossoms Friday, September 24 10:00 am - 4:30 PM - $65 Gather scraps from your favorite prints and treat yourself to a fun and relaxing workshop as you stitch this traditional quilt. The variety of gentle shapes in this design are perfect for learning Kim's invisible machine appliqué technique, and you'll discover just how easy it can be to produce consistently sharp points, smoothly rounded edges, and vines with flawless curves. This modern time-saving method is easily mastered and will enable you to achieve finished shapes that closely duplicate the look of needle-turn appliqué, but they can be sewn in a fraction of the time! And because you'll love stitching this block so much that you won't want to stop, bonus directions for an alternate four-block version of this project will be provided in class.

Class time will begin with the center patchwork portion of this project, and then we'll switch our focus to Kim's easy invisible machine appliqué technique. You'll discover just how simple it can be to prepare beautifully shaped appliqués, and you'll learn how your sewing machine can be used to invisibly stitch them in a fraction of the time that needle-turn techniques require.

This lap quilt is from Kim's new book coming in October (yes, you are getting a sneak preview!) called Simple Graces.
