Kathy has fashioned a fabulous new block just for us at Applique Away on Galveston Bay 2020 and this beautiful Broderie Perse block features her new technique (Broderie Perse-lique™) that is all the rage! She will delight you with her simple, yet masterful way to tame those wonderful fabrics with the large motifs that we all want to incorporate into our applique. What could be more gorgeous than these Bally Hall - Di Ford Hall tropical birds just chirping and flitting and flirting among the breathtaking floral motifs that you will fall in love with. Perfect pink Dupioni silk makes fabulous rose buds and Kathy always brings other fun silk ribbons to play with. This class features a very creative process and is such fun, to boot! Kathy teaches “tried and true”applique methods with her twist and they lend grand results to all confident skill levels. We will focus on the project, while enjoying different applique techniques. The class will work mainly with prepared applique, using Kathy’s favorite applique foundation paper and very simple (and inexpensive) tools of the trade. There will be no limit to what you can applique after this class with Kathy! And this class is a perfect design class with everyone’s project turning out unique. Don’t be scared to jump right in, as Kathy never ends her “demos up close and personal”.
