3-hour Workshop: Friday 19 September 

Class Time: 1.00pm to 4.00pm

This gorgeous table runner design features some beautiful hand applique embellished with hand quilting using Perle 8 thread.

While my centre square design was turned into a table runner the centre block could be used to create a lovely cushion, bag or the centre block of a medallion quilt.

All of my applique techniques will be demonstrated during the class including how to make perfect 1/4” bias stems, preparing flowers, leaves and circles, the hand applique stitch, turning the centre into a circle, adding the bias peeper strip, the side panels as well as hand quilting.

Finished Size of the Table Runner is 18” x 35″.

Pattern Cost: $ 15
