Sunflower Snapshot
This is a great starter art quilt! Learn easy machine appliqué, threadpainting embellishment and free-motion quilting. Make the small tiles separate from the background, so you can learn the techniques in small steps, and then bring it all together for a beautiful wallhanging. Great with ombré backgrounds, batiks, and hand-dyed fabrics. A creative non-intimidating way to play with these techniques!Create your sunflower snapshot tiles in session 1 and the free-motion quilted background in session 2.
