Margaret Sampson George Appliqué

We are all delighted to have Margaret back teaching more of her amazing appliqué. This workshop will cover paper piecing, needle-turn appliqué and broderie Perse. You can work on any of Marg's projects from her book or others you may know about. She is having an exhibition whilst here at Cowslip so there will be plenty to choose from! We're very excited to have Margaret back with her amazing quilts from her beautiful book 'Take an Element' and also some new projects she has been working on too. Margaret has a very different way of working Appliqués and Broderie Persé from her unique and playful understanding of the possibilities within every piece of fabric. Her style of teaching is to bring out the designer in each student, so although she may suggest a project to work on, her aim is to give you the guidance and freedom to develop your own ideas and creations taking inspiration from her work. Margaret’s requirement lists are fairly loose! For the basics: For needle-turn Appliqué you require Freezer paper Sharp scissors small and medium Scissors for paper cutting Lead pencil and sharpener. Frixion pen or Appliqué pencil I use size 11 large-eye needles to Appliqué but you use what suits you! Size 9 or 10 for basting. I use basic beige ,cream ,and greeny grey thread to Appliqué. Again , use what makes you comfortable. I use Aurifil thread but that's a personal preference.
