Holiday Bargello Quilt Workshop

These delightful artistic holiday projects are easily created by combining two fun techniques:  bargello quilt-as-you-go and fusible appliqué.  In this exciting workshop, you will choose one pattern from the six options and for the project that you wish to make.  The basics of all the patterns are the same but each has some variations.  The variations among the patterns will be demonstrated and discussed so that you will learn additional techniques besides those involved in the project you are creating.  You’ll sew strip sets, cut segments and be amazed to see the background take shape as you begin shifting the segments.  Become enchanted at the ease with which this quilt-as-you-go technique keeps all those seams stabilized and enables you to create the design quickly and successfully.  Add the fusible appliqué and embellishments … presto, the artistic project is complete.
