Laura shares whimsical designs for three small, single-block quilts that you can create along with her. You’ll add fusible web to your fabrics and learn how to protect your tools and work surfaces. Cutting out free-form appliqué shapes and composing your artwork are a breeze — your creativity and improvisation are encouraged! Then it’s time to add details and texture with a wealth of hand-embroidery stitches, from lazy daisies to French knots. Laura will show how to make more than a dozen stitches, and help you finish your quilt with batting, a colorful border and options for hanging. Bonus: Laura’s e-book “Fanciful Stitches, Colorful Quilts” (a $14.99 value) is included free!
