Join the fun! Be empowered!

Let the sunshine into your kitchen with Sunflowers. Learn machine reverse applique as you make a Sunflower Swirl potholder (8” x 8”). You’ll learn Eye of the Beholder’s Trace, Snip, Iron & Stitch method with Appli-quilting that quilts-as-you-go! As we create, we’ll look at the satin-stitch technique to grow in consistency and confidence, so you’ll have graceful curves, and sharp points without “xes”.  Join the fun and let Margaret share with you how.  Don’t want to make a potholder? Make a Mug Rug instead.

If you want to learn a bit about this technique before the workshop, check out our Tutorials section on the website: Machine Reverse Appliqué with Appli-Quilting tutorial.

See below for downloadable Workshop preparation/materials list and Pre-cutting list. It’s essential that you pre-cut as there will not be time in the workshop to do this, so this will help us make best use of our time together. All links open in a new window.

There are required Materials that must be purchased in addition to the workshop.

Fabric Kit: If you’d like us to select your materials for you, you can also choose to buy an optional fabric kit put together by us perfectly to suit the design and style. .
